rhythbox-client not packaged

[Brian J. Murrell]

The ryhthbox package includes the manpage for rhythmbox-client but not the actual binary. It should be included in the rhythmbox package, IMHO.

What does that mean exactly?

It doesn't seem to be true anyway:

$ ps -ef | grep rhythmbox
brian 13214 8302 14 21:29 ? 00:00:07 rhythmbox
brian 13284 1 0 21:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/rhythmbox/rhythmbox-metadata unix:tmpdir=/tmp
brian 13305 8648 0 21:29 pts/19 00:00:00 grep rhythmbox

$ rhythmbox-client --hide
/usr/bin/python: can't find '__main__' module in '/usr/share/command-not-found'

"--hide" option has been removed from rhythmbox-client, but left in
man page - this is bug #958238. Other options like --play or --next
should work correctly

~sigh~ Seriously? Are you actually reading and comprehending my
comments? The error above is not an invalid command syntax error
it's a "that command does not even exist" error.

OK. I will humor you...

$ rhythmbox-client --next
/usr/bin/python: can't find '__main__' module in '/usr/share/command-not-found'

Clearly "command-not-found" is also broken but it doesn't change the
fact that there is simply no "rhythmbox-client" command installed.

packages.ubuntu.com even confirms this:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=oneiric&arch=any&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=rhythmbox-client

compared to:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty&arch=any&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=rhythmbox-client

and:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&arch=any&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=rhythmbox-client

Looks like you are affected with bug 561046.
Please reinstall 'command-not-found' and 'command-not-found-data'
package and try launching 'rhythmbox-client' commands again.

Dude, surely you can see that this command-not-found issue is
completely orthogonal and not the cause of the rhythmbox-client
command not being packaged on oneiric. But again, I will humor
you by installing command-not-found and try yet again:

To prove that it no longer complains when you enter something that
actually exist:

$ aadasdf
aadasdf: command not found

And the results from trying to run rhythmbox-client:

$ rhytmbox-client
rhytmbox-client: command not found

See. Not installed, yet I do have rhythmbox installed:

$ apt-cache policy rhythmbox
rhythmbox:
  Installed: 2.90.1~20110908-0ubuntu1.3
  Candidate: 2.90.1~20110908-0ubuntu1.3

Still not convinced?

Did you have rhythmbox running when you launched rhythmbox-client?
Try something like 'rhythmbox; pause 10; rhythmbox-client --play'

Yes. It's playing in my ear while I do the following:

$ ps -ef | grep rhythmbox
brian 23261 16631 3 10:45 ? 00:02:36 rhythmbox
brian 26532 16710 0 12:05 pts/1 00:00:00 grep rhythmbox
$ rhytmbox-client
rhytmbox-client: command not found

I do see the typo there. Fixing it has no different effect:

$ rhythmbox-client
rhythmbox-client: command not found

[ again, while I am listening to rhythmbox playing music ]
