Package: gnome-shell-extensions Version: 3.4.0-2 Severity: important Many users have struggled with trying to down load extensions from extensions.gnome.org. Typically they selected an extension but it failed to download. This problem was traced to their system's lacking unzip. When unzip is installed, the problem goes away.
As a band aid, I submitted a bug report to gnome to update their FAQ. They accepted this. On the page extensions.gnome.org/about in answer to the question "I'm using GNOME 3. Why can't I install extensions?" the sentence has been added: "Some distributions don't quite package GNOME correctly. Make sure that you have the unzip package installed." The distribution in question is Debian Wheezy (testing). There needs to be a dependency so that gnome-shell-extensions package requires the unzip package. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-shell-extensions depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.12.1-2 ii gir1.2-gtop-2.0 2.28.4-3 ii gnome-shell 3.4.1-8 gnome-shell-extensions recommends no packages. gnome-shell-extensions suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
