Package: googleearth-package
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Since on testing make-googleearth-package refuses to run:
hikaru:~>make-googleearth-package --verbose
Google Earth for GNU/Linux 4.3.7191.6508
Unrecognized Google Earth version (use --force to build anyway)
and --force doesn't work either, I installed make-googleearth-package
from unstable. Running that finished with:
Description: Google Earth, a 3D map/planet viewer
Package built with googleearth-package.
chmod: cannot access `usr/lib/googleearth/linux/mailto-scripts/*': No such file
or directory
dpkg-deb: building package `googleearth' in
`./googleearth_4.3.7191.6508+0.5.4-1_amd64.deb'.
Success!
And created a ./googleearth_4.3.7191.6508+0.5.4-1_amd64.deb
I installed that, and then run 'googleearth'.
This starts, but pops up a window saying:
Google Earth Error
Google Earth detected an error while trying to authenticate. Please
check the following:
- your network connection (can you get to www.google.com?)
- your firewall settings
(are you blocking /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin?)
Error code: 29
For more information, visit:
[OK button]
Note that I manually typed this over (it might contain typos).
There is indeed nothing behind the 'visit:'.
If I click the [OK] butten, the popup disappears - but the
main googleearth window only shows black space with stars.
There is no Earth. If I click on File --> Server Login...
I get the same popup.
Obviously, there is nothing wrong with my firewall or internet
connection (a previous version worked fine - except that it
started to crash, and started to complain about the non-existance
of bitstream vera sans font (which I DO have installed, X can
find it and it worked fine with the same googleearth a few
months ago when I last ran google earth). This is why I tried
upgrading with the above result.
At the moment I have no way, not even a workaround, to run
googleearth.

Hi there,
Sorry you are having trouble with Google Earth!
Unfortunately, bugs in Google Earth itself are unfortunate, but out of the
scope of googleearth-package, which just makes a package out of Google
Earth for your system-wide installation convenience.
If you still feel that this is a bug in *packaging* and not in Google Earth
itself, please let me know and we can reopen this bug.
