Glom: No examples/templates available on Karmic or Lucid.

[Murray Cumming]

Binary package hint: glom

Glom should show a list of templates in it's initial dialog, in the "Create New Document" tab. But the "New From Template" item contains just "No templates available". This is probably something to do with the location of the files. This has happened before:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glom/+bug/206032

This makes Glom very hard to use for first-time users.

This is really a major issue. Could someone take a look?

Can we get this important fix into Karmic, please?

[Peter Penz (ppenz)]

Alessio, has the fix been tested on Lucid? I applied your patch for Karmic on the Openismus-PPA (https://launchpad.net/~openismus-team/+archive/ppa) and needed to adjust the path in debian/glom-doc.install from:
    examples usr/share/glom/doc
(Lucid) to
    examples usr/share/doc/glom
(Karmic), because glom-1.12.6 searches at doc/glom for the examples.

I installed glom-1.13.2-0ubuntu1 on Lucid, and it does not show any templates in the new document tab.

[Murray Cumming (murrayc)]

Should I assume that the Glom package in Ubuntu is now unmaintained? What should I do to deal with that?
