Package: cinnamon-common
Version: 3.2.7-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I was trying to add a desklet to my desktop (right click on the
desktop, "Add Desklet")
but every time I tried to use a desklet that was online (choosing
"Available Desklet (online)" section, choosing one and clicking in "Install or
update selected item"),
after download it, it shows an error message "No such file or
directory".
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I follow the code from
/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py
it leads me to /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/Spices.py,
in the code I can see that "Install or update selected item" call to
"install_all" (line 388)
wich leads me to "install" method (line 418). There was a call to
subprocess (line 449) that launch
msgfmt binary. I tried to discover which package belongs that binary
(using packages.debian.org)
and I found that binary belongs to gettext. I install gettext and now
everything works like a charm.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It works, now I can use and install desklets no mather where they come.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expect not to install gettext by hand because should be a dependency
of cinnamon-common
