Requires icons it does not depend on

[Jonathan Riddell]

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

system-config-printer-applet requires icons that it does not depend on. Installing it when you do not have Gnome installed causes it to crash when plugging in a printer.

Seems to be related to this change:

Does it work when changing the icon to Icon=printer.png in the desktop file?

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

It has nothing to do with .desktop files. It needs the gnome icon theme.

Here's another missing depencency. Seems to need notification-daemon

This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 0.7.78+svn1799-0ubuntu1

---------------
system-config-printer (0.7.78+svn1799-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o Subversion snapshot r1799
     o Made assignment of PPDs to auto-detected printers more reliable,
       especially for Bluetooth and network printers. This is done by
       supporting weird auto-detection output of CUPS backends, as
       "Unknown" for make and model but useful info field, device ID
       for Bluetooth not identical with device ID for USB/parallel, no
       manufacturer name in make-and-model field, case-insensitive search
       when cleaning model name.
     o Handle the manufacturer name "KONICA MINOLTA" correctly (LP: #64046).
     o If the OpenPrinting database (foomatic-db) recommends a non-PostScript
       driver, use this driver, even if there is a vendor PPD for the
       PostScript mode (HP LaserJet 12xx/13xx, LP: #172550).
     o Allow listing of all files in file chooser dialog for selecting a
       custom PPD file (LP: #153585).
  * debian/control: Added missing dependencies: python-gnome2 and
    gnome-icon-theme (LP: #176929).
