Bug Description

Binary package hint: trac-datefieldplugin

The install fails because the install package cannot find "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/datefield/htdocs/css/ui.datepicker.css". The problem is that the dependency package called libjs-jquery-ui has the file located at "../../../../javascript/jquery-ui/themes/smoothness/jquery.ui.datepicker.css" instead of the preconfigured "../../../../javascript/jquery-ui/themes/smoothness/ui.datepicker.css", note the filename change from ui.datepicker.css to jquery.ui.datepicker.css
This causes the invalid link to point to itself ("/usr/share/pyshared/datefield/htdocs/css/ui.datepicker.css")
(see also http://<email address hidden>/msg841651.html)

to manually fix the error:
sudo apt-get -y install trac-datefieldplugin
cd /usr/share/pyshared/datefield/htdocs/css/
sudo rm ui.datepicker.css
sudo ln -s ../../../../javascript/jquery-ui/themes/smoothness/jquery.ui.datepicker.css ui.datepicker.css
sudo apt-get -y update

Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) and that libjs-jquery-ui is version 1.8.dfsg-3.
Also the see also was to Bug#60376 on the debian-bugs-dist from 10 Nov 2010. I'll try the url again maybe it won't block it, just change the '<AT>' with the '@' symbol.

in looking a bit further, it looks like the name was changed due to an update for #5163 in jquery-ui. they were doing some renaming to be more consistent. (see jquery-ui commit https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/commit/828bcdd2f0befbf450dcd1d7c387388acd7a191b or https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/828bcdd2f0befbf450dcd1d7c387388acd7a191b/themes/base/jquery.ui.datepicker.css)

What concerns me is that this was done in Feb of 2010, so trac-datefieldplugin has been broken for about a year? If I find some time to understand how the packaging works, I'll try to submit a patch.
