Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Ubuntu 7.04 current Feisty Fawn
gnome-utils 2.18.0-0ubuntu2
Gfloppy is not included in Feisty. I first noticed this when I added 'Floppy Formatter' to the Applications->System Tools menu using Alacarte. Also, running gfloppy from the terminal returns command not found. I have managed to format the floppy using mkfs.msdos and mkfs.vfat.

This is probably caused by this changelog entry.
"2007-02-04 Emmanuele Bassi <email address hidden>

        * configure.in: Add a configure switch for enabling or disabling
        building GFloppy: you can force disabling it even if the requirements
        were met. (#404236)

        While we are at it, fix some of the enable/with help strings and
        checks; I should really clean up configure.in one of these days.
"

Rebuilding the feisty package with --enable-gfloppy=yes added to the rules file fixed this.

Any chance of getting a gnome-utils package that includes gfloppy for Feisty?

That's likely a candidate for feisty, low importance though since very few people seem to be using it
