Package: xfce4-utils Version: 4.8.3-2 Severity: minor Having done a fresh testing install of xfce, I installed xfce4-utils (i think via synaptic). Xscreensaver is not installed as it is only recommends, not requires, xflock4 does not work.
sh -x xflock4 + pgrep xscreensaver + pgrep -f gnome-screensaver ++ which slock + test x '!=' x + xlock /usr/bin/xflock4: Zeile 29: xlock: Kommando nicht gefunden. + exit 0 Additionally, there is no xlock to be found via apt-file ? So it should not be being used as a fallback (bug 544857)? $ apt-file find xlock | grep bin fvwm: /usr/bin/fvwm-menu-xlock hylafax-server: /usr/sbin/faxlock lxsession: /usr/bin/lxlock $ I think it might be a good idea to require (Xscreensaver | gnome-screensaver ) rather than recommend, that way locking functionality works out of the box, rather than the user having to dig into a terminal to determine that xlock doesn't work, or even exist, and then having to read the shell script (or use tracing) to see that xscreensaver/gnome-screensaver is an option. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfce4-utils depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.8 Debian package management system ii exo-utils 0.3.107-1 Utility files for libexo ii libc6 2.13-35 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 GTK+ graphical user interface libr ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.8.1-1 widget library for Xfce ii libxfce4util4 4.6.2-1 Utility functions library for Xfce ii procps 1:3.3.3-2 /proc file system utilities ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7~3 X server utilities ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-em 0.4.8-1+b1 Xfce terminal emulator ii xinit 1.3.2-1 X server initialisation tool ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 261-1 X terminal emulator Versions of packages xfce4-utils recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.6.8-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii thunar 1.2.3-4+b1 File Manager for Xfce pn xdg-user-dirs <none> (no description available) ii xfce4-panel 4.8.6-4 panel for Xfce4 desktop environmen ii xfwm4 4.8.3-2 window manager of the Xfce project pn xinput <none> (no description available) pn xscreensaver | xlockmore | xl <none> (no description available) Versions of packages xfce4-utils suggests: ii xfce4-session 4.8.3-2+b1 Xfce4 Session Manager -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
