Bug ID: 409724
Summary: Akonadi dependency not made explicit during install
Product: zanshin
Version: 0.5.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: er...@kde.org
Reporter: cowc...@gmail.com
CC: mbe...@ipsquad.net
Target Milestone: already done
SUMMARY
If Zanshin is installed normally from the Ubuntu repository, the program claims
that it needs Akonadi to work when trying to open it and once it is _already_
installed. Even after installing some of the Akonadi packages from the
repository, Zanshin does not work. When trying to open it claims that it can't
connect with the personal information management system and that there is no
Akonadi agent available.
The user shouldn't discover by surprise this dependency once the program is
already installed and shouldn't be forced to guess which are the necessary
packages the she/he has to install to make the program work.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Zanshin package from the Ubuntu repository.
2. Trying to open Zanshin from the Applications Menu. Program claims it needs
Akonadi to work.
3. Installing akonadi-server and akonadiconsole from the Ubuntu repository.
4.- Trying to open Zanshin from the Applications Menu. Program claims it can't
connect with the personal information management system and that there is no
Akonadi agent available.
OBSERVED RESULT
After installation Zanshin does not start. It gives a message complaining about
Akonadi.
EXPECTED RESULT
After installing Zanshin from the repository it should be able to start without
having to install other packages.
Either:
a) The fact that Zanshin will not work without Akonadi is explicitly stated in
the web and descriptions of the program, or
b) the required Akonadi packages are marked as dependencies to install when
installing Zanshin from the repository, or
c) the program is modified so it is able to run withou Akonadi.
