Package: gnome-shell Version: 2.31.2-1 Severity: important After installing gnome-shell from experimental (2.31.2-3), it would not start. It complained about a missing clutter symbol. So I manually installed a newer clutter from experimental (1.2.8-1), and tried again. This time it complained about a missing meta_somethign symbol. So I went back and manually installed the version of mutter from experimental (2.31.2-3). After doing that, things worked.
Note that installing gnome-shell did pull in gir1.0-mutter-2.31, but it didn't pull in the newer mutter itself. I suspect there's some missing dependencies somewhere. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-shell depends on: ii gconf2 2.28.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii gir1.0-clutter-1.0 1.0.8-1 GObject introspection data for the ii gir1.0-freedesktop 0.6.14-1 Introspection data for some FreeDe ii gir1.0-glib-2.0 0.6.14-1 Introspection data for GLib, GObje ii gir1.0-gtk-2.0 0.6.5-6 GObject introspection data for the ii gir1.0-json-glib-1.0 0.10.2-2 GLib JSON manipulation library (do ii gir1.0-mutter-2.31 2.31.2-3 GObject introspection data for Mut ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-1 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libclutter-1.0-0 1.2.8-1 Open GL based interactive canvas l ii libcroco3 0.6.2-1 a generic Cascading Style Sheet (C ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.86-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libffi5 3.0.9-2 Foreign Function Interface library ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgirepository1.0-0 0.6.14-1 Library for handling GObject intro ii libgjs0a 0.7-1 Mozilla-based javascript bindings ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1 7.7.1-3 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2-17 2.30.0-2 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-menu2 2.30.0-1 an implementation of the freedeskt ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.29-1 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 0.10.2-2 GLib JSON manipulation library ii libmozjs2d 1.9.1.9-7 The Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScrip ii libnspr4-0d 4.8.4-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstartup-notification 0.10-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.1-1 X11 Composite extension library ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.2-1 X11 damaged region extension libra ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.4-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii mesa-utils 7.7.1-3 Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities ii mutter 2.31.2-3 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii pkg-config 0.25-1 manage compile and link flags for ii python 2.5.4-9 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnome-shell recommends: ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.7.7-2 nested X server gnome-shell suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
