OK, thanks for the debugging. I've just upgraded to Karmic, and I can now confirm the problem.
Attached is an improved version of the patch currently shipped as 01_debian_4.0.patch. It makes detection of Debian-based systems even more standard, using /etc/lsb-release so that we are not confused by the version from /etc/debian_version. That was the cause if the problem in Karmic. With the new patch, Ubuntu is assumed to work as Debian everywhere, which I believe is correct. Versioning is removed, which is already what the original patch did. To packagers: I could commit that fix or something similar upstream since it cleans the mess that distro detection has become, and should not affect other distributions. Then I can release a 2.8.2 minor release including this, plus two other fixes. Does this scenario fit your needs, or do you prefer updating the patch only in Ubuntu? ** Attachment added: "fix_debian_ubuntu_detection.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32322266/fix_debian_ubuntu_detection.patch ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress -- [time-admin] Time admin seems not to remember selected time zone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434565 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
