cannot install gnome & gnome-office packages

Looks like gnome depends on system-config-printer >= 0.7.81, but system-config-printer is a virtual package provided system-config-printer-gnome (which I already have installed). Perhaps gnome should depends just on system-config-printer (no version) or perhaps system-config-printer-gnome specifically.

gnome-office also depends on abiword-plugin-goffice which no longer exists.

Pedro, please take more care when filing sync requests - installing packages are good.

which, in fact, has never existed in ubuntu.

Sorry, here's a new diff.

meta-gnome2 (1:2.22.2~4ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - gnome-devel demote bluefish to Suggests
    - gnome-dbg remove libgail-dbg due to gail change (LP: #273387)
    - gnome-devel unversion glade-gnome
    - gnome-desktop uses system-config-printer-gnome and
      not system-config-printer (LP: #273015)
    - gnome-office remove abiword-plugin-goffice which doesnt
      exists in ubuntu
    - gnome-acessibility unversion dasher as we still use 4.7.0

Hi,

Should the package perhaps depend on abiword, as while there is no
goffice integration, installing a word-processor may be what the
user expects of this metapackage?

Thanks,

James

I've added the abiword, thanks james.

The last debdiff is correct, uploaded.

The only remaining problem is gnome-devel being uninstallable due to anjuta being uninstallable, but that's anjuta's fault and not meta-gnome2. I'll make sure it's fixed soon in any case.

This bug was fixed in the package meta-gnome2 - 1:2.22.2~4ubuntu2

I have similar problem with ubuntu 8.04. System has kde4 installed, but there
are problems. So I tried to install gnome:
