Bug#532271: Fixed problem at ubuntu

[Debian]

 I think this fix is incorrect in the general case.

Maybe - but a fix is needed.

 AIUI the problem is that xml-core doesn't seem to be working at the time
 scrollkeeper is deconfigured. A pre-dependency in rarian-compat might
 fix this sometimes by changing the order of installation (by ensuring
 xml-core is configured before removing scrollkeeper), but there are
 cases in which it won't.

Yes - and then you have no chance to recover the problem.

 In the long term, I'd appreciate if update-xmlcatalogs could be made
 more robust.

Is it a good idea to use rarian-compat until the problem is fixed?

I set the package scrollkeeper on hold and so everything works fine now again.

Besides - the problem with the missing desktop was not caused by rarian-compat.
It was caused by apt-get autoremove and i opened another bug for it.

Sincerly Karsten

Bug#532271: Fixed problem at ubuntu

[Josselin Mouette]

Le lundi 15 juin 2009 à 11:02 +0200, Debian a écrit :
 Here the same problem at Ubuntu.
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xml-core/+bug/256131
 There the problem seems to be fixed.
 But with a ubuntu-package ...

I think this fix is incorrect in the general case.

AIUI the problem is that xml-core doesn’t seem to be working at the time
scrollkeeper is deconfigured. A pre-dependency in rarian-compat might
fix this sometimes by changing the order of installation (by ensuring
xml-core is configured before removing scrollkeeper), but there are
cases in which it won’t.

I presume the correct solution is to add cleanup code in rarian-compat’s
postinst. I don’t know what this code would be, though. I’m CCing the
xml-core maintainers in the hope they can give advice about this.

In the long term, I’d appreciate if update-xmlcatalogs could be made
more robust.

Cheers,
