I had a similar problem: the 11.04 upgrade said that it would remove
openoffice.org-math without installing libreoffice-math, but then did
install libreoffice-math after all. 

This kind of bug is hard to reproduce, because reinstalling takes a long
time. But if you have some time for testing, you might try this:

 so to reproduce all you need to do is to run apt-clone restore
/var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz
/some/destination/that/will/become/a/chroot
 then chroot to that destination and run the upgrade
 I admit its a bit time consuiming, but it should allow exact
reproducion of the issue

Cheers

Quick question about Unity API

[Owas Lone]

Hey friends,

Does Unity LauncherEntry emit any signal that can be connected in an
application when the it is clicked/activated. Like messaging menu
items have 'server-display'/user-display' signals. In other words, I
would like to make the application aware of if it was brought to
attention by clicking it's launcher entry. The app runs in BG.

Thanks

Best way to Poll for connectivity.

[Owas Lone]

Hey,

I was wondering what would be the best/most efficient method of
polling for the internet to become available.

I mean like empathy or skype sit idle (poll to check connectivity) and
imediately connect when computer goes online.

What would be the best way to implement this in Python. Does
GLib/GObject or any POSIX API provide some sort of callback system for
this.


Thanks
