missing dependance ibus

[Christoph]

Starting with gdm 3.5.90 (quantal) gdm failed to start. The logfile /var/log/gdm/\:0-greeter.log provided the obvious solution "JS LOG: Error: Requiring IBus, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'IBus' (any version) not found". Installing the package ibus solved the problem.
Please can you add the depandance "ibus" th the "gdm" package (from 3.5.90 on)
Thanks,
Christoph

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

gdm itself doesn't actually need ibus, but the fancy greeter provided by gnome-shell does. You can verify that by uninstalling gnome-shell & ibus and login still works.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.5.91-0ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-shell (3.5.91-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Rico Tzschichholz ]
  * New upstream release (LP: #1035742).
  * debian/control.in:
    - Bump minimum clutter, gnome-bluetooth, gnome-desktop, & mutter versions
    - Build-depend on ibus and depend on gir1.2-ibus-1.0 (LP: #1044962)
  * 22-remove-gdmgreeter-dep.patch:
    - Dropped, GDM 3.5 is in Ubuntu now

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * debian/patches/90_dont-lock-without-gdm.patch:
    - Disable lock screen if GDM isn't running. If you need password-protected
      screen lock, you need to be using GDM as your default login screen.

    - Add basic apport hook to report custom settings,
      particularly what extensions are enabled & what theme is used
