Sir,
Filing multiple reports about a problem against different packages and with
varying severities is neither the proper way to communicate with a
volunteer-driver project, nor does it appreciably increase the
likelihood
that your problem will be resolved in a timely fashion.
You filed #288753 on 5 January against gtk2-engines-industrial with normal severity, reporting the following problem:
internal error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-cursor-theme corrupt: missing newline after manflag
You then filed #289327 on 8 January against xlibs-data, reporting the exact same problem. This time with *CRITICAL* severity.
This problem came from an other package during an upgrade.
On 9 January, Josselin Mouette attempted to contact you regarding #288753, but you have not yet replied.
If you do not plan to respond to this query for further information, then that, too, is not a good way to interact with volunteer developers.
The mail arrived at 00:34:58 local time. I replied on the 10th of January.
In, the future, please do not file duplicate bug reports. It causes
people
to spend time identifying and merging those duplicates, and attempting
to
write patient mails to the submittes, that could be spent researching
the
problems reported and working towards a solution.
Sorry fot that but after the upgrade GNOME could not start anymore. So I sent the bug-report.
Norbert
