Repository error? : gnome-panel & gnome-panel-data versions inconsistant for amd6

[Keith Watson]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

There appears to be a set-up error in the 9.04 repositories for the amd64 versions of gnome-panel and gnome-panel-data.

If I do an apt-get update then an apt-get dist-upgrade I get version 1:2.25.92-0ubuntu1 of gnome-panel installed but 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu1 of gnome-panel-data.

The result is that gnome-panel will not start up.

Looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/gnome-panel it has;

Download gnome-panel

Download for all available architectures
Architecture Version Package Size Installed Size Files
amd64 1:2.25.92-0ubuntu1 425.3 kB 1284 kB [list of files]
i386 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu1 385.8 kB 1140 kB [list of files]

and before that, under the dependencies;

dep: gnome-panel-data (<< 1:2.26) [amd64] common files for the GNOME Panel
dep: gnome-panel-data (<< 1:2.27) [i386]
dep: gnome-panel-data (>= 1:2.25) [amd64]
dep: gnome-panel-data (>= 1:2.26) [i386]

(I'm a bit confused as to why there are two entries each for i386 and amd64.)

Following any of the gnome-panel-data links takes you to the 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu1 version.

For the time being I've manually retrieved the 1:2.25.0 version of gnome-panel-data and installed and pinned it. So I have a working system.

thank you for your bug report, that's not a package bug though some buildds are just faster and you are using an unstable version so transition are happening there

[Keith Watson (kpwatson)]

OK, thanks. I suspected it might be something like that, as you say it is an unstable release.

Just checking :o)
