Hi,
I am trying to get Gnome2 installed on my machine (Jaguar, Fink from
scratch). I got the ".info" and ".patch" files from Mr. Sekino.
I was able to install gnome-desktop (2.0.8-1), gnome-session (2.0.7-1)
and control-center (2.0.1.1-1) without much problem. Docbook-dtd-catalog
(1.0-1) and scrollkeeper (0.3.11-1) were also installed as dependencies to
these packages.
I ran into problem with installing gnome-applets (2.0.3-1) and eog
(1.0.3-1). Installation of gnome-applets stopped at setting gnome-panel
(2.0.9-1). Gnome-panel-dev and -shlib were both installed, however, despite
of the problem.
Both gnome-panel and eog installation errors occurred was due to
scrollkeeper-update (at least that was what I guessed). The errors are shown
as below:
(for gnome-panel)

To make the long story short, I found that in the ".info" files for both
gnome-panel and eog, there was a section towards the end as the following:
> PostInstScript: <<
> scrollkeeper-update
> export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2 --get-default-source`
> for s in panel-global-config panel-per-panel-config \
> mailcheck pager tasklist clock fish ; do
> gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule %p/etc/gconf/schemas/$s.schemas
> >/dev/null
> done
> <<
> PostRmScript: <<
> if [ upgrade != "$1" ]; then
> scrollkeeper-update
> fi
> <<
In the .info files for control-center and gnome-session (two packages
that installed successfully), the line "scrollkeeper-update" and the
PostRmScript section were not there.
I am not a package developer, but I thought that I would try to modify
the ".info" file to see if that would fix the problem. I thought that I
would delete out the line "scrollkeeper-update" and the PostRmScript
section. Remove the .deb file and re-install these two packages.
I have contacted Mr. Sekino about errors in gnome-applets (-panel)
installation, but have not heard back from him. I am sure that he is very
busy, so I thought that I would try to figure this one out myself. However,
I would like someone's opinion before I go ahead and cause a catastrophy on
my system. Thanks for your help!!
Best regards,
Chia Hung
