Bug Description

I installed gbackground using Synaptic. I then went to a terminal and typed in gbackground and got this message:

Can't locate Switch.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Switch module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/gbackground line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/gbackground line 7.

Went back to Synaptic and installed the package libswitch-perl and then gbackground would run.

Seems like libswitch-perl is a missing dependency.
