** Description changed: Binary package hint: googleearth-package When I ran make-googleearth-package --force to install the new version of Google Earth which was released today, everything goes fine until I attempt to run the googleearth command to launch the application, at which case the following error message occurs in the terminal: /usr/bin/googleearth: 14: /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: not found Even though the googleearth-bin binary is quite clearly inside the /usr/lib/googleearth directory. I am using Kubuntu 64-bit Natty with googleearth-package 0.5.7. + + + == STABLE RELEASE REPORT == + + + === IMPACT === + + With the release of the latest google earth, the generated package does + not produce a package with the appropriate dependencies, so for most + users, it will be useless and they will not know how to install the + package until they google and find that they need to install the 'lsb- + core' package. + + === DEV FIX === + + This was fixed in the Debian package, v0.6.0, by adding lsb-core to the + list of dependencies for the generated package. + + === PATCH === + + See merge proposal for maverick. + + === TEST CASE: === + + # verify that lsb-core is not installed (dpkg -l lsb-core) + # install googleearth-package (apt-get install googleearth-package) + # build the package with 'make-googleearth-package --force' + # install the package and its dependencies (either with something like gdebi, or 'sudo dpkg -i file.deb ; sudo apt-get -f install' + # run googleearth + + The broken packages will not have installed lsb-core, and will fail with + + $ googleearth + /usr/bin/googleearth: 14: /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: not found + + But a working package will run google earth properly. + + === REGRESSION POTENTIAL === + + Adding a dependency could erroneously install lsb-core in a place where + it is not needed, but otherwise I don't see any danger.
