rootstock-gtk fails on rootstock: invalid option -- 's'

[Arthur Lutz]

Binary package hint: rootstock

Launching rootstock-gtk and then clicking TaskSel (first error IOError) then clicking build gives me an error then exits

$ rootstock-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/rootstock/rootstock-tasksel", line 101, in <module>
    myGUI = GUI()

    tasknames, taskdesc = self.read_tasklist()
  File "/usr/lib/rootstock/rootstock-tasksel", line 83, in read_tasklist
    f = open('/usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc', 'r')

rootstock: invalid option -- 's'

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Exact same error even on Ubuntu Oneiric with just trying to execute with default options and without even hitting TaskSel

appears to be related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/project-rootstock/+bug/640420

I can confirm the bug is not in rootstock-gtk but is the result of the bug in rootstock ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/project-rootstock/+bug/640420 ) and applying the patch on that page to rootstock fixes this error.

Sorry, the rootstock patch only removes the (rootstock: invalid option -- 's') error (error 2). The other error can be fixed by installing tasksel (maybe this should be marked as a dependency?)
