libdeskbar-tracker does not install the module at the right place

[Cyril Jaquier]

Binary package hint: tracker

In Karmic, libdeskbar-tracker installs the module in /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible but it seems the other modules are located into /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible. Thus tracker integration into deskbar is not working in karmic.

[Hans van den Bogert (hbogert)]

maybe deskbar is in the wrong here, since it installed everything under:
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet
which seems a little redundant

[Mtt.Castelli (mtt.castelli)]

It seems to me that someone would like to bring users from Tracker to some Mono apps like Beagle.

I wish it is not.

[Cyril Jaquier (cyril-jaquier)]

No deskbar maintainer here??? tracker integration in deskbar is broken at the moment and will probably be in Karmic. Sad because this one is probably easy to fix.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

The problem was deskbar-applet was reporting the wrong module directory in deskbar-applet.pc, this is fixed in lp:~ubuntu-desktop/deskbar-applet/ubuntu. Tracker will need to be recompiled to use the correct location and will any other deskbar modules.

Opening tracker task for that.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package deskbar-applet - 2.28.0-0ubuntu2

    - Fix incorrect module directory in pkgconfig file (LP: #437167)

[Cyril Jaquier (cyril-jaquier)]

Sorry but this bug is still not fix as today. deskbar-applet modules are still installed in /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible and libdeskbar-tracker installs its module into /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible. Maybe libdeskbar-tracker should be rebuilt.

Right, that's why there is an open tracker task.

Oh... Sorry :-( I didn't notice this. Everything's fine. Thank you.

> importance: Undecided → Wishlist

Since "libdeskbar-tracker" is not working at all in karmic due to this bug, I would have expected something higher than "wishlist". No "tracker" maintainer able to rebuild the package before karmic get released?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package tracker - 0.6.95-1ubuntu2

---------------
tracker (0.6.95-1ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/libdeskbar-tracker.install:
    - Use installed deskbar modules instead of hard-coded path (LP: #437167)
  * debian/control:
    - Build-depend on deskbar-applet (required to get module directory)
