Hi Sven,
thanks, it didn't occur to me that they were in a separate package, but of
course that's what happened, so this can be closed.
regards, Jim

In debian testing, I am running gnome-panel from fvwm (not gnome). I
recently was forced to upgrade packages including various gnome libraries,
and had to reinstall gnome-panel. When I restarted gnome-panel, a number
of applets could not be loaded, including gweather, charpick and battstat.
Error messages occurred when I tried to add them back to the panel. I
could not find the executables anywhere on my system, so I went back to my
backups and found them in the following locations:
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/gweather-applet-2
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/battstat-applet-2
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/charpick_applet2
After restoring these from my backup, I also had to restore some other
files whose locations have been changed in the new gnome-panel, for
example
/usr/share/gweather/Locations.xml
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/charpick.schemas
So now I have my gnome-panel working again, but obviously not in the way
that was intended. Does anyone know what might have gone wrong when I
upgraded gnome-panel and associated packages?
Hi,
Those applets are part of the gnome-applets package and have AFAIK never
been part of gnome-panel. Maybe you accidentally removed gnome-applets
during the upgrade?
By the way, when reporting bugs, it's great if you stat what version of
the package you are using (and in this case from what version you were
upgrading from). You can use the tool reportbug which will include a lot
of relevant information. It can also help you figure out in which
package a certain file belong.
