Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 0.33.0-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

Since base-files changed /etc/debian_version from "testing/unstable" to "3.1";
gnome-system-tools has been unable to properly detect the distribution.

Patch to backends/platform.pl.in is attached.

Not exactly this problem, but on the start it displays a "The platform you are
running is not supported by this tool" ... it should be :)

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas)]

Hi,

Debian Sarge soon will be frozen, so it would be nice if sarge would be
released with correctly working gnome-system-tools. Current Debian
version (0.33) has some important bugs - network admin corrupts
smb.conf, also there are troubles with entering IP addresses.

Latest upstream version (0.90) solves these, and several other problems,
so please update debian packages ASAP.

For 0.90 and 0.34 anouncement look here:

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

We'll standardize on /etc/lsb-release for Ubuntu, so our detection should be
based on that, rather than /etc/debian_version. /etc/debian_version might even
disappear.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I think we have 2 options here:
- adding a new distro (that requires a bunch of changes all over the files
apparently)
- map ubuntu as a debian and use the same commands. I've a patch ready for this
option. It should be fine since the ubuntu structure is almost the debian one ...

Any opinion on this ? I'd say to upload a package with the second option now, we
have time to really add ubuntu as a different distro later

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Does the user ever see the distribution name, etc. in gnome-system-tools? I
have only seen the dialog that is shown then the distribution is not recognized.

If the user will never see it, then it doesn't matter if it is called 'debian'
or 'ubuntu'

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

AFAIK the distro name is not display. I've changed the /etc/lsb-release parser
to not return, in this way warty is detected as a debian-sarge (based on
/etc/debian_version, so if we remove it we'll need to adapt the change).

 gnome-system-tools (0.90.0-2ubuntu1) warty; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/05_ubuntu-no-warning.dpatch:
     - don't display a warning about warty not supported (Warty #461).

[Raph (raph-captainblood)]

Hello,

The first distribution check which is run is check_lsb. It returns
"debian-3.1". Problem is, all scripts wait for "debian-sarge", whereas
other versions are expected as "debian-2.2" and "debian-3.0".

The "check_debian" subroutine works well, but check_lsb is ran first.

This breaks the detection of the distro : all applets expect
"debian-sarge" to recognize the distro, not (yet) "debian-3.1".

A previous check to transform "3.0" to "woody" was commented out. I
uncommented these 3 lines and changed the only key/value pair to "3.1"
and "sarge". This makes the check_lsb subroutine return "debian-sarge"
instead of "debian-3.1", as expected by all applets, which are working
again (they don't ask for the distro anymore).

A patch is attached.

Thanks for reading.

The fix in the current package works here. What do you have in /etc/lsb-release ?
