chbg crashes with Gdk-ERROR

[Nick Craig-Wood]

Binary package hint: chbg

To reproduce in an up-to-date feisty, try to use chbg to change the background image

$ chbg /usr/share/backgrounds/Ubuntu-DawnOfUbuntu_1600x1200.jpg

Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

This is finally fixed in gutsy.

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

the bug was reported in feisty ?
but chbg is not fixed in feisty ? (I think this is a problem of the way bug are fixed in ubuntu)
I'll try to install the gutsy's chbg package in feisty

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

gutsy-package works on feitsy, but there are unresolved deps.
I rebuilt the gutsy package on feisty using:
sudo apt-get build-dep chbg
dpkg-source -x chbg_1.5-9ubuntu1.dsc
cd chbg-1.5/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

looks like working

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Fixed in gutsy as said above. If you want it to be fixed in feisty too, please open a feisty task.

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

The recompiled gutsy packages works on feisty, so there is no problem with feisty.

How do I "open a feisty task" ? (for other packages in future bugs ?)

Please close for Feisty as Won't Fix? This goes for all the other Feisty bugs.
