compiz update 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu7 doesn't include compiz-kde update

[Joel Berger]

Binary package hint: compiz

Using 8.04, compiz-core from hardy-updates repository.
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted

The last update to compiz bumps the version to 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu7. This causes apt-get to remove compiz-kde as there is no corresponding update for this package and it depends on an exact version of compiz-core/compiz-plugins. (Latest version of compiz-kde after apt-get update is 1:0.7.4-ubuntu6, which depends on an identical version number for compiz-core/compiz-plugins.) Compiz still operates, but the KDE look and feel (and config integration) is gone.

This bug is quite annoying. The title bars have disappeared...

Ok, I've found a workaround. Just download and install manually compiz-kde_0.7.4-0ubuntu7

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/compiz-kde/1:0.7.4-0ubuntu7

This package is suppose to be in the repositories, I don't know why the compiz-kde_0.7.4-0ubuntu6 is still there...

Confirmed on KUbuntu 8.04.

Thank you for reporting this bug. Is this still occurring for you? Does it occur on the latest version of Ubuntu (8.10 or 9.04 beta)?

[Joel Berger (hikari-lp)]

Well, I haven't used hardy in some months (current desktop runs intrepid-amd64), but I whipped up a hardy-i386 chroot install to test, and among the other output from 'apt-get -s install compiz-kde' I got this:

Inst compiz-kde (1:0.7.4-0ubuntu7 Ubuntu:8.04/hardy-updates)

The version matches what was missing in the original bug, and it does show the same one-version-only dependency on compiz-core and compiz-plugins as in the prior version. That suggests to me that it's been fixed, as it was probably just an incomplete upload to begin with. Thanks.
