Orca doesn't work

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

A blind user tried out the alpha and has the expectation that ALT+F2, orca, enter, should work. However you can't launch orca.

I hadn't include at-spi2-core in the seeds or meta package. I've updated the seeds and rebuilt the ubuntu-mate-meta packages against the new seeds. Orca will be fixed in the next development release of the .iso images and will be generally available in the alpha 2 .iso images that will be release toward the end of May 2014.

I assume you mean end of July 2014?

Yes, I do mean July 2014.
