Package: sshmenu
Version: 3.13-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The sshmenu package includes the relevant files for running the program as 
a GNOME panel applet, but the libpanel-applet2-ruby package is not listed 
in the dependencies therefore the applet won't actually work.  Both the
generic standalone sshmenu and the GNOME-specific sshmenu-gome standalone
apps do run.

The preferred solution would be to move the gnome-specific files into their 
own package (e.g.: sshmenu-gnome) and add the libpanel-applet2-ruby package
as a dependency to that package.  This would allow non-GNOME users to install
'sshmenu' without pulling in GNOME dependencies.

Kevin I've sent you a couple of emails and not had a reply so I'm not sure if
you're not receiving them or I'm not getting replies.  The points I was making
in the emails ...

1. The SSHMenu home page has moved from my personal web site to SourceForge:

   http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/

2. The files I used when creating my informal Debian/Ubuntu packages are
   here:

   
http://sshmenu.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sshmenu/modules/sshmenu/trunk/deb-files/
   
3. Version 3.14 of SSHMenu was released last week

4. My suggested guidelines for packaging SSHMenu are here:

   http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/download/install.html

   You are of course free to ignore them :-)  Or better yet, let me know if
   you think they need revising.

Thanks for picking up this package for Debian.

Regards
Grant
