** Package changed: gparted (Ubuntu) => ubiquity (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
** Summary changed:
- libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 cannot open shared object file
+ Installer removes packages, but fails to update package database
** Description changed:
- /usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries:
libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- The current version of my libgtkmm is 3.2.0-0ubuntu1
- libgtk-2.4-1c2a : 1:2.24.2-1
- Ubuntu 11.10
- gparted : 0.8.1-1ubuntu4
+ There is a set of packages that are installed on the livecd that get
+ removed during installation. Sometimes the package database fails to be
+ updated to reflect that the packages were removed, so while the files
+ are gone, the package database still shows the package as being
+ installed.
+
+ This problem can manifest itself when users install gparted, which
+ depends on libgtkmm-2.4.so.1. The package database things this library
+ is already installed, but in fact, the files were removed during
+ installation, so gparted can not load the library. Other packages have
+ been affected as well, though the problem is difficult to reproduce. It
+ may require getting an error during the grub installation phase.
