Moving upstream, since it's from their PPA.

[Steve Dodier-Lazaro (sidi)]

The plugin requires this version of python-webkit, and it's not available for Jaunty. I'm not sure if they should be in the PPA as it can break other packages (well, it's a PPA afterall, 'use at your own risk'). Assigning to the contextinfo author, so he can see if we can safely downgrade the python-webkit version or if it should go in the PPA.

[Mateusz Szczepańczyk (otikscypi)]

I'm using jaunty with python-webkit 1.0.2. On official exaile forum they adviced me to do local installation of that plugin. It's working just perfect right now.

[Guillaume Lecomte (guillaume86)]

Yeah the plugin should be compatible with the webkit jaunty version, you can "downgrade" the depedency version.

retargeting to 0.3.0.2

[Steve Dodier-Lazaro (sidi)]

May someone please fix the dependency on the package so we can set this bug to fixed before 0.3.0.2 release ?

[Mateusz Szczepańczyk (otikscypi)]

I guess that someone downgraded dependency and something went wrong with it. Now, package is broken in ubuntu 9.10 and there is no way to install it. Aptitude is screaming that libwebkit-1.0-1 is required... but in 9.10 libwebkit-1.0-2 is present.

Works fine now, but contextinfo don't work as expected.
Animation icon 'Refresh' all time in progress and no data occur.

I haven't looked at the PPA package, but in Ubuntu we dropped the
redundant libwebkit dependency for the contextinfo plugin. The
python-webkit dependency already pulls it in the current version.
