That it has the same problem I alluded to about cairo-dock-core: *any* of the packages in the list will satisfy the dependency, so if I for example install both gnome-session and xfce4-session on the same system (so that users may have a choice of desktop environments) xfce4-session will satisfy the dependency and unity-settings-daemon will not be pulled in. So that's no good. How about moving /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/cairo-dock.session to a separate package and making *that* depend on unity-settings-daemon? > ** Changed in: cairo-dock (Ubuntu) > Status: New => Incomplete Why incomplete? We may not have found a fully satisfactory solution yet, but the statement of the problem doesn't seem incomplete to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Devs, which is subscribed to cairo-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1464517 Title: cairo-dock-data is missing a dependency on gnome-settings-daemon Status in cairo-dock package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/cairo-dock.session lists gnome- settings-daemon (on trusty; may be unity-settings-daemon for some releases of Ubuntu) as a required component. This is a real requirement: when gnome-session-bin is installed but gnome-settings- daemon isn't, attempts to log in to a cairo-dock desktop session fail with the following messages in .xsession-errors: gnome-session[17624]: WARNING: Unable to find required component 'gnome-settings-daemon' gnome-session[17624]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry.... Installing gnome-settings-daemon is sufficient to cure this symptom. That makes me think that cairo-dock-data (which provides cairo- dock.session) ought to have an explicit Depends: gnome-settings-daemon (or possibly a Recommends:, but definitely nothing less than that). I see that cairo-dock-core has a Recommends: gnome-session | <other stuff>, but that's so likely to be satisfied by one of the other choices to be almost useless. A survey of my trusty desktops indicates that systems upgraded from precise have gnome-session installed but fresh trusty installs only have gnome-session-bin. gnome-session depends on gnome-settings-daemon but gnome-session-bin does not.
