ocenaudio installation from Software Boutique does not work

[nmaxx]

- set Software Boutique to retrieve the latest software listings
- select audio section
- install Ocenaudio
- click "Launch" button
=> Ocenaudio does not launch - not found, expected it to launch

The launcher file points to /opt/ocenaudio/bin/ocenaudio %U, yet there is only a file /opt/ocenaudio.zip containing all of Ocenaudio.
Looks like the unzip step is missing.

Software Boutique 16.10.0~xenial1.11
Ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 (amd64)

Thanks for the report. I can confirm this happens here too.

The package is retrieved from Martin Wimpress' PPA, which will require re-packaging in order to fix this bug:

Sorry, but the ocenaudio packaging is a big fat hack. We are going to drop it from the next version of Ubuntu MATE Welcome/Boutique.

We recommend you download the deb directly from the ocenaudio website:

Is this going to be backported to 16.04? It still lists the broken Ocenaudio install in the Boutique (16.10.0~xenial1.12).

[Luke Horwell (lah7)]

Good call, I've removed it from Xenial's version, which will be reflected in the next Welcome update (providing you've enabled the PPA / clicked the "subscribed to updates" option)
