Unable to install Pybackpack in Oneiric - missing dependency

[Manfred Wiktorin]

Pybackpack can't be installed on Ubuntu 10.11 Oneiric. Pybackpack depends on python-brasero, but the package python-brasero isn't in the repositories

SRU Test case:
* Package installs successfully -> success :)

This was expected, see the following changelog entry from gnome-python-desktop:

gnome-python-desktop (2.32.0-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in: Drop python-brasero. Brasero is GTK 3 now, thus the
    binding doesn't work any more. This will break pybackpack as the only
    reverse dependency, until it gets ported to GI.
  * debian/control.in: Drop python-evince. Evince is GTK 3 now, thus the
    binding doesn't work any more. This will break current
    sugar-read-activity, but this is being ported to GI upstream.

It's installable in precise. I guess we can SRU it into oneiric

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Trivially, even. In Debian, this dependency was just dropped.

Hello Manfred, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pybackpack into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Manfred Wiktorin (athlonet)]

pybackpack can be installed now on Oneiric (and is working of course).
Thank you very much guys for your great job.

This bug was fixed in the package pybackpack - 0.5.8-1ubuntu1.1
