Package: update-notifier Version: 0.41.3-1 Severity: important update-notifier appears to be primarily intended as a gnome package but can run under KDE. /usr/share/doc/update-notifier/README says that this package requires gksu to run and this requirement is not reflected in the package information.
apt-cache show update-notifier does not mention gksu and if you don't have gksu installed (as with probably most KDE systems) then update-notifier displays the icon in the notification area but none of the menu options work. Shouldn't gksu at least be included as suggested if not as depends? regards Ryan Cartwright -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages update-notifier depends on: ii dbus-1-utils 0.61-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal 0.5.6-4 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.10.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.10.1-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcairo2 1.0.2-3 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-2 0.61-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1 0.61-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libgamin0 0.1.7-3 Client library for the gamin file ii libgconf2-4 2.12.1-9 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyri 0.4.7-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.12.0.1-5 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas 2.12.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.12.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.12.2-6 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.12-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhal1 0.5.6-4 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libnotify1 0.3.2-3 sends desktop notifications to a n ii liborbit2 1:2.12.4-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System multi-head display ii libxml2 2.6.23.dfsg.2-2 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii notification-d 0.3.4-4 a daemon that displays passive pop ii python 2.3.5-5 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-apt 0.6.16.1 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii update-manager 0.41.1.dfsg+CVS20051105-2 GNOME application that manages apt ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime update-notifier recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
