[UNMETDEPS] torbutton: auto-synced, depends on iceweasel

[Philipp Kern]

torbutton (binary package: iceweasel-torbutton) was automatically synced from Debian and depends on the iceweasel package not available in Ubuntu. So the package should either be fixed to depend on Ubuntu Firefox and to install into the correct directories or be removed from Ubuntu.

[Christophe Sauthier (christophe.sauthier)]

I'm working on it.

[Kyle M Weller (kylew)]

torbutton does not work in Gutsy Beta's firefox, it causes 100% cpu usage on firefox restart

torbutton (1.0.4-2ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Add of a possible dependency to firefox or iceweasel (LP: #137513)
    - Modification of the Depend Field of the debian/control file
    - Modification of debian/iceweasel-torbutton.dirs,
      debian/iceweasel-torbutton.install and debian/iceweasel-torbutton.links
      to take into account firefox extensions directory.
  * Modify Maintainer value to match Debian-Maintainer-Field Spec

[Philipp Kern (pkern)]

Hm, this would be confusing as torbutton would be the only package prefixed with `iceweasel-'.

[Christophe Sauthier (christophe.sauthier)]

What can I do for that ?

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Why is this fix committed?

[Christophe Sauthier (christophe.sauthier)]

Just because sometimes I am a bit dump, and that I've cheched the wrong option....

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

For gutsy please consider:

1) asking for a removal or
2) asking for an SRU or
3) asking for a backport

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Uploaded to hardy. Thanks for your hard work!

[Philipp Kern (pkern)]

I would say that a removal is unfeasible, a SRU not really appropriate and a backport the way to go if you want to fix this in Gutsy.

[Christophe Sauthier (christophe.sauthier)]

Ok, so let's go for a backport... The underlying question is : what do I have to do ? since it will be my first one... :)

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

It would help if you can backport, build and test the package already (I have never used sharkattack myself so I can't advise you on that).
You can contact jdong on #ubuntu-motu if you need help with the process.

Spoke with requester in IRC, built in Gutsy pbuilder and installed fine, Approved:
