dependency to meld is missing

[Stefan Pappalardo]

Binary package hint: gnome-commander

When I select "File -> Diff" in the pulldown menu I expected a comparison of two selected files.
Instead "nothing" happened.

Then I started gnome-commander in a terminal and tried to compare two log files and got following output:
[..]
»meld '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' '/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old'« wird ausgeführt
/bin/bash: meld: Kommando nicht gefunden.
[..]

After installing "meld" the expected functions "Diff" and "Sync Folder" are enabled.

As the functions are statically part of the pulldown menu (File) I recommend to add the package "meld" as a hard dependency to the gnome-commander package.

thx

I have the same bug in 13.04. I guess I'll have to open a new bug for it.
