nautilus-gksu tries to remove nautilus

[Hew]

Binary package hint: gksu

With Ubuntu Karmic, I cannot install nautilus-gksu. It was removed during the Jaunty -> Karmic upgrade, and now cannot be installed due to dependency issues.

  nautilus-gksu: Depends: libnautilus-extension1 (>= 1:2.26.2) but it is not going to be installed

Same problem here. I like this application as it is easier to use than the terminal.

I've attached a screenshot of what needs to be removed to install. Needless to say, I'm reluctant to proceed.

Please un-subscribe main-sponsors. I thought this only needed a rebuild, but that's not the case.

The Nautilus package actually explicitly breaks nautilus-gksu (<< 2.0.2-2+b1)

From nautilus debian/control:

Package: libnautilus-extension1
Architecture: any
Section: libs
Depends: ${misc:Depends},
         ${shlibs:Depends}
Conflicts: libnautilus2-2
Breaks: nautilus (<< 2.22),
        gnome-mount (<< 0.8),
        nautilus-cd-burner (<< 2.22),
        file-roller (<< 2.24),
        python-nautilus (<< 0.5),
        nautilus-sendto (<< 0.14.0-2),
        nautilus-open-terminal (<< 0.9),
        nautilus-image-converter (<< 0.3),
        nautilus-filename-repairer (<< 0.0.5-2),
        eiciel (<< 0.9.6.1-3),
        diff-ext (<= 0.2.3-3),
        nautilus-gksu (<< 2.0.2-2+b1),
        nautilus-actions (<< 1.4.1-1+b1),
        nautilus-share (<< 0.7.2-4+b1),
        seahorse-plugins (<< 2.24.1-3+b1)

We seem to have picked this up from Debian in the last merge:

nautilus (2.26.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Break eiciel, diff-ext, nautilus-gksu, nautilus-actions,
    nautilus-share and seahorse-plugins until versions rebuilt with the
    new extension path.

I think this was probably done inadvertently. Apparently 2.0.2-2ubuntu2 < 2.0.2-2+b1

Opening a Nautilus task.

Here's the error I got when attempting to test the rebuild nautilus-gksu:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nautilus-gksu:
 libnautilus-extension1 (1:2.27.4-0ubuntu2) breaks nautilus-gksu (<< 2.0.2-2+b1) and is installed.
  Version of nautilus-gksu to be configured is 2.0.2-2ubuntu2.
dpkg: error processing nautilus-gksu (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Patch for nautilus.

(Obviously the above requesting main-sponsors to be un-subscribed isn't what I want anymore as I'm supplying diffs. I though this was going to take some more investigation, but figured it out while writing the above. Just forgot to remove the first line... =) )

Thank you for your work there

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

why do you think that a gksu rebuild is required?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Changing back to new for now, the issue seems a dpkg bug the ubuntu revision should be higher than the binary nmu version

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

uploaded the change

[Steve Beattie (sbeattie)]

The fix in nautilus does not require a rebuild of the gksu/nautilus-gksu package; the packages successfully install together now. Closing the gksu task.

There is a similar problem with nautilus-filename-repairer.

There's a Breaks on nautilus-filename-repairer (<< 0.0.5-2). 0.0.5-3 is in Debian and looks appropriate. Sync in Bug #437705
