2010-12-12 13:28:25 Clint Byrum description Binary package hint: googleearth-package When I ran make-googleearth-package --force to install the new version of Google Earth which was released today, everything goes fine until I attempt to run the googleearth command to launch the application, at which case the following error message occurs in the terminal: /usr/bin/googleearth: 14: /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: not found Even though the googleearth-bin binary is quite clearly inside the /usr/lib/googleearth directory. I am using Kubuntu 64-bit Natty with googleearth-package 0.5.7. Binary package hint: googleearth-package When I ran make-googleearth-package --force to install the new version of Google Earth which was released today, everything goes fine until I attempt to run the googleearth command to launch the application, at which case the following error message occurs in the terminal: /usr/bin/googleearth: 14: /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: not found Even though the googleearth-bin binary is quite clearly inside the /usr/lib/googleearth directory. I am using Kubuntu 64-bit Natty with googleearth-package 0.5.7. == STABLE RELEASE REPORT == === IMPACT === With the release of the latest google earth, the generated package does not produce a package with the appropriate dependencies, so for most users, it will be useless and they will not know how to install the package until they google and find that they need to install the 'lsb-core' package. === DEV FIX === This was fixed in the Debian package, v0.6.0, by adding lsb-core to the list of dependencies for the generated package. === PATCH === See merge proposal for maverick. === TEST CASE: === # verify that lsb-core is not installed (dpkg -l lsb-core) # install googleearth-package (apt-get install googleearth-package) # build the package with 'make-googleearth-package --force' # install the package and its dependencies (either with something like gdebi, or 'sudo dpkg -i file.deb ; sudo apt-get -f install' # run googleearth The broken packages will not have installed lsb-core, and will fail with $ googleearth /usr/bin/googleearth: 14: /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: not found But a working package will run google earth properly. === REGRESSION POTENTIAL === Adding a dependency could erroneously install lsb-core in a place where it is not needed, but otherwise I don't see any danger.
