Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

* If you could do a "cut and paste" of the commands your typing and errors your getting it would be a great help.

smc-music is not automatically provided
I am not sure if this is intentional or not, but it _should_ be installed with smc by default. debian/control file error

I looked at the releases for hardy and gusty and smc-music wasn't included in those packages therefor I am marking this as a wishlist.

There is also an smc-music package. It looks like it was intended to me installed separately.

Adding a Suggests on smc-music will create a circular dependancy. IMHO this bug is bogus, the purpose of the smc-music package being packaged separately is exactly to avoid having it installed by default while installing smc. Having a recommends/suggests on it (and removing the deps from smc-music) should be addressed upstream (ie. Debian), not by Ubuntu in isolation.

Cesare Tirabassi, suggestions are always welcome... which is why I flagged it as "wishlist"... If the develops choose to go in this direction they may take a look at the report... Other then that it does not show up in the search list.

Hi,

Having a suggestion on smc-music isn't a problem from a circular dependency
point of view. However, I agree that this should be addressed in Debian. Please
forward this request to Debian so that we can get their input on the matter.

Thanks,

James
