this package is necessary for "onboard" package

setting to critical because python-virtkey is indirectly installed by ubuntu-desktop (via onboard)

I was able to work around the problem using the following commands:

sudo cp /usr/share/pyshared/python_debian-0.1.16ubuntu1.egg-info/PKG-INFO /usr/share/pyshared/python_virtkey-0.60.0.egg-info

sudo apt-get -f install

[Chen Liang (chenliang)]

I remove the package python-virtkey along with onboard. I don't need a on screen keyboard anyway.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

This bug has a large number of dups! I am sourcing this package, let me check if I am able to fix it.

[Vladimir Hidalgo (vlad88sv)]

#5 worked for me, just that I need to do this before:
sudo rm /usr/share/pyshared/python_virtkey-0.60.0.egg-info

Otherwise cp complains about overwriting a symbolic link with no target

[Daniel Ward (dwa012)]

I encounted this problem as well today.
I used #5's work around ans the error seems to be resolved.

[Embridioum (embridioum)]

Yeah, I'm unistalling too.

[Bill Allan (william-allan-2)]

I am using a Gateway LT22 netbook (AMD Athlon II Neo Processor K125). The keyboard and trackpad (Synaptics) work in Windows 7 but do not work when I boot into Ubuntu 10.10. I must plug into the netbook an external USB keyboard and mouse. Are the two problems related?

P.S.
I think the next time it would be wise to not take a German install as main bug and mark the rest as duplicates, now we have 100 duplicates because everyone thinks her/his problem is different.

[Paul Piscuc (paul.piscuc)]

#5 workd for me also. (using ubuntu 10.10)

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

I got the fix, making a debdiff and requesting sponsorship now.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Sponsors usually ignore assigned bugs, so I am unassigning myself, but I have the fix attached.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Ok, I've uploaded this to Maverick now. Thanks for working on this!

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Can assign myself back now :)

This bug was fixed in the package virtkey - 0.60.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
virtkey (0.60.0-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * Prevent include-links from being set in the DH_PYCENTRAL variable
    before the build, this is not needed in this package and generates
    broken symlinks, hence preventing the package from installing properly.

Please stop sending any more workarounds; These are sure to confuse new
users, and the bug is now fixed in the latest upload, and updating the
system fixes the mess for me, and for Chris, and (I hope) others as
well.

[Philip Muškovac (yofel)]

This was a bug in the packaging, not an upstream bug.

[Sebastian Geiger (lanoxx)]

Just tried to upgrade, this does not seem to be fixed. Can anyone give more information?

[Sebastian Geiger (lanoxx)]

I will reset to "In progress" since I updated after this was supposedly fixed and its not. I dont think that using the workarround in comment #31 is considered a fix either, is it?

[Philip Muškovac (yofel)]

This bug has been fixed. The fixed package just isn't completely built and distributed on all mirrors yet. We don't track that on a bug report.

[David Smith (xperdition)]

If I am not associated with any bugs,why am I getting 40 e-mails per hour about a bug I merely reported this morning?  This happens every time I decide to report a bug.  I get put on these unending e-mail sprays and it takes an act of Congress to get off.  Launchpad needs better subscription controls.  Where can I submit THAT as a bug?

I had the same problem.
I fixed it by combining post #5 and #8, because i got the error:
cp: not writing through dangling symlink `/usr/share/pyshared/python_virtkey-0.60.0.egg-info'

so:
root@mypad-laptop:/dev/input# sudo rm /usr/share/pyshared/python_virtkey-0.60.0.egg-info
root@mypad-laptop:/dev/input# sudo cp /usr/share/pyshared/python_debian-0.1.16ubuntu1.egg-info/PKG-INFO /usr/share/pyshared/python_virtkey-0.60.0.egg-info
root@mypad-laptop:/dev/input#
root@mypad-laptop:/dev/input# sudo apt-get -f install

that did the trick.
Thanks you!
