missing dependency (undef sym: vte_terminal_...)

[Yotam Medini]

Under Xubuntu, Intrepid (8.10) alpha-4
After successful
 # apt-get install gnome-terminal
Here's what I get when trying to run it:

yotam@durini:~:235> gnome-terminal
gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: gnome-terminal: undefined symbol: vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll

gnome-terminal works correct here, can you run ldd /usr/bin/gnome-terminal and attach the output to the report? is libvte9 installed?

[Yotam Medini (yotam-medini-gmail)]

Output(s) attached, from which one can also see that libvte9 is installed.

Does this happens on Intrepid final?

[Icebreaker (coderguy)]

Yes, all you need to do is to apply an already existing patch to libvte9 which adds the specific method. I posted the workflow here :

Eventually someone will make an updated DEB :)

Keep it real :)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

Hello Pedro,

It is not an issue for me.
But on the other hand, I did not check closely if there is still a
dependency problem there.
