Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gramps

I created a family database thing with gramps. Just to
be sure (i had the same problem before and thought it
was an installation problem), i saved the database as
three different types of files: the normal one, GEDCOM,
and something else.

However, when I closed gramps and tried to open the
three files, none of the files worked. I got the
following error message (each with its respective
filename, though):

[code]Could not open file: /home/avi/family.grdb
File type "x-extension-grdb" is unknown to GRAMPS.

Valid types are: GRAMPS database, GRAMPS XML, GRAMPS
package, and GEDCOM.[/code]

At first, the GEDCOM file was detected as a
GRAMPS-compatible file (although the GRAMPS still
wouldn't open it). When I restarted the computer,
however, the GEDCOM file was no longer detected as such.

I use Ubuntu Dapper, GRAMPS 2.0.11-2, GNOME 2.14.3.

I don't know if this would have any effect, but (before
this happened), I was forced to reinstall ubuntu from
the live install disk after edgy was (unwittingly)
half-installed and I could only access ubuntu through
the command line. Everything is working fine now except
my sound and printer (which shouldn't affect this) and
GRAMPS.

Here's a link to a forum post in which this was
