@Robbie: To me, having a package installed by default in a distribution is an implicit endorsement for the package, and a guarantee that the developers have tested the package, and it works for most cases.
I am extremely grateful for everything that Ubuntu is doing, and I'm trying to give back a bit, by running beta builds and reporting bugs. However, I do agree with @waspinator's last point -- if a package is known to be completely broken, it should be pulled out. Broken auto- installed applications ruin the image of both Ubuntu and all Linux-based distributions. This bug has been reported a month ago, is a clear show-stopper for the app, and has a patch that seems to get the package in a better state (clearly broken -> maybe broken in a subtle way). If nothing is done about it by the time 10.10 ships, I will consider that the time I'm spending testing and filing bugs is wasted. -- vinagre fails to connect to any VNC server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
