gedit-latex-plugin should recommend libgnome2-0

[Alex Valavanis]

In oneiric, libgnome2-0 is not installed by default... this means that the "gnome-open" command used by gedit-latex-plugin is unavailable. This is seen in the oneiric backport of version 3.3.1 of the plugin.

To reproduce...
1. Make a simple LaTeX file
2. Use the "LaTeX -> PDF" command
>> a warning message appears in the bottom-pane because gnome-open is unavailable

To workaround...
Install libgnome2-0.

Updated backport branch linked. Please consider merging. (Updated deb attached)

Hi Alex - Thanks for reporting this. Instead of continuing to use gnome-open, which has been deprecated, I'm going to switch the package to using gvfs-open, which is the new GNOME-sanctioned replacement for gnome-open. (http://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit-latex/commit/?id=4166f494ca26e1ef0540652fc1658e9dc31e6a0d)

Once the package has been uploaded to Precise, then we can look into backporting the fix to oneiric-backports. In the mean time, I'm going to mark the oneiric-backports task as Incomplete.

I've opened a bug against Debian asking them to update to the most recent release of gedit-latex-plugin

Seen, thanks Evan and Alex.

I'll take care of this asap. :)

I'm closing this old bug, since oneric has been long EOLed.
