evolution-plugins-experimental lists plugins it does not have

[John Marter]

Binary package hint: evolution-plugins-experimental

Synaptic tells me that evolution-plugins-experimental (2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1) provides the following plugins
 - face
 - folder-unsubscribe
 - mail-to-meeting
 - save-attachments
 - external-editor
 - tnef-attachments
 - evolution-webdav

However, http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/e/evolution/evolution_2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1/changelog shows that face, at least, has been removed.

=================================
evolution (2.30.1.2-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream bugfix release.
  * debian/patches:
    - 03_fix-face-plugin-linking dropped, included upstream.

=================================

My impression, looking at the file list, is that only external-editor and tnef-attachments are still provided by that package. Regardless, the actual plugin list should be determined and the package description changed to match.

rereading that changlog entry, it does not really address whether the plugin was dropped or not. However, http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/i386/evolution-plugins-experimental/filelist shows org-gnome-face.eplug in 2.28, but it is not in 2.30 that I can see, so I still believe the report to be essentially correct.

Thanks for your bug report. Is this still an issue with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal? May you please check and comment back? Thanks in advance!.

[John Marter (gjmarter)]

Yes 2.32.07-0ubuntu7 still has this problem. In particular the long description says it has face, but it is not in evolution-plugins-experimental. Likewise evolution-plugins does not list face and it is now providing that plugin.

Just looking at the size of the claimed plugins in the description and the number of files provided by the package, I have to believe that there are more examples.

Pedro, what must be done to move this issue out of the incomplete status?

[Expired for evolution (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[John Marter (gjmarter)]

I don't think this should be expired. I have asked what needs to be done to move the issue out of incomplete status.
