You're right that the suggested fix results in an uninstallable package, so we should continue this discussion and attempt to get to the root of it, but it is a distinct bug from 269935. I'm running all the most up- to-date packages from Hardy and ran a dist-upgrade again to check last night, removing all remnants of gutsy from my apt sources.list. Versions (at least of gourmet) aren't mixed, as gourmet had never been installed until about 30 minutes before this bug was reported. I'm happy to do whatever is necessary to clarify my dependencies and figure out what you've got installed that I don't (or vice-versa), and why.
If there is a problem here, you should be working with me to fix it, not pulling the old 'well, it works for me' trick. That's a very old, very boring, very unconstructive 'solution'. (As with regards to being someone who 'does a lot of loud handwaving', well, google me. I've constructively dealt with and resolved more bugs on good days than your launchpad record indicates you having ever dealt with, period. Yes, this bug irritates me, and yes, I'm behaving slightly petulantly here, but yes, you're shipping software that appears completely broken in at least two separate ways on at least one user's computer, and as usual launchpad doesn't even offer me the option to do the right thing (set the proper priority/severity, much less get attention for it.)) (And no, I haven't run Debian in since about 1999. So that's not my pet peeve, but you can continue making up my motivations if it makes you feel better.) -- lacks dependency on metakit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269936 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
