ldm should depend on ldm-ubuntu-themes instead of ldm-themes

[Tuomas Jormola]

Binary package hint: ldm

Hi,

There's no package ldm-themes in intrepid. Instead, package ldm-ubuntu-themes replaces ldm-themes. Please update dependencies accordingly.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

ldm-themes is provided by ldm-ubuntu-themes making it possible (AFAIK) to have different theme packages providing ldm-themes and being able to switch from one to another.
Marking the bug report Invalid, feel free to reopen if I'm wrong.

[graylion (graylion)]

Sorry, you are wrong. Why don't you try it out? There really is not package ldm-themes in intrepid.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

The package is a provide so it won't appear in an apt-cache show but other packages can depend on it.
So a Depends: ldm-themes will work and it currently does work.

Closing the bug again as Invalid.

Can be done - but is messy:

This shouldn't be the case - but I imagine on a default server install without X/GDM this may not be an issue.

LDM should never be installed outside a thin client and you won't have
gdm or ubuntu-desktop installed on a thin client.

Other than that, this issue has been solved in Jaunty as show below:
The following extra packages will be installed:

Well that's good to hear - perhaps I will try Ubuntu again when that release appears...

This page detailing how to install ltsp on and existing install:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall#Installing%20on%20top%20of%20an%20already%20running%20desktop%20system

should be removed/corrected - the result does work - but without ldm - appears to be an incomplete process...

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

ldm gets installed insode the thin client environment by the ltsp-build-client command and will be used if this environment is booted over the network by a thin client, there is nothing wrong with the wikipage.

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

oh, and just on a sidenote, stephane was completely right in his first comment, due to the provides of ldm-themes by ldm-themes-ubuntu this bug was never relevant at all.
the provides already resolved the dependency, changing it to a direct dependency is cosmetically cleaner but with the dropped provides in jaunty it will for example be impossible to use the debian theme packages with our ldm now (which are called ldm-themes) so while it may look cleaner it actually restricts functionallity.
