mini-commander missing in 2.14.0ubuntu1

[knarf]

The mini-commander applet is missing from gnome-applets_2.14.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb (no idea about other architectures). The missing file is:

/usr/lib/gnome-applets/mini_commander_applet

(the man page is still in the package so I assume mini-commander is meant to be part of this package)

Thanks for your bug. That applet is deprecated and replaced by deskbar-applet now but you are right, the manpage should be dropped from the package

 gnome-applets (2.14.0-0ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control.in:
     - remove 'Command line applet' from description.
   * debian/rules:
     - make sure we don't install mc applet's man page. (Malone: #34732)

Should deskbar-applet be upgraded to depends: instead of recommends:? Otherwise people's (ie, mine ;-) mini-commanders mysteriously disappear.

[knarf (launchpad-ubuntu-f)]

Since mini-commander is to be removed from gnome-applets it should also be removed from gnome-applets-data. The latter currently still contains the bonobo server:

/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_MiniCommanderApplet.server

(found this out when I made a stand-alone package for mini-commander. Deskbar is just to heavy for my liking...)

[knarf (launchpad-ubuntu-f)]

Now, almost three years after the initial bug report this problem still remains...

I made a small patch to get rid of all traces of mini-commander in the gnome-applets package when it is not built. If anyone knows of a valid reason to keep the server file for a non-existent applet around please speak up, otherwise please add this patch to the mix so those who choose not to have their memory eaten by a disfunctional deskbar-applet still can install an external mini-commander without having to --force-all the installation.

In my opinion deskbar-applet is no appropriate replacement for mini-commander. If I have to click on the icon first to get to the edit box, I could press <Alt><F2> too. It would be nice, if it would be included again. (e.g. openSuSE 11.1 still includes it)
