Hi Michael, I just remembered that I got a python-gobject warning on one of my previously reported synaptic bugs (8.10 alfas). I hope to hear back from anyone soon. Otherwise I will try to contact Sebastian Heinlein, as I think he may actually be responsible for this kind of stuff. (Really, there were so many people 'contacted' with my last bug report that I am only guessing. Happy new year anyway to the lot of you. LOL)
The problem below generated a crash report and apport-gtk did its thing. I got the pop-up "not a genuine ubuntu package". I guess this is because it is an early jaunty 'dbgsym'? Or was this really replaced (e.g. python-gobject by python2.5)? r...@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# apt-get install python-gobject Reading package lists...
