Version: 7.2.33+dfsg-2~precise1 Sorry it took so long, had left-over menu entries that I needed to hunt down and purge.
After installing the boinc-manager it works without an error, but during the subsequent install of boinc-client a warning is printed: adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/boinc-client' does not belong to the user you are currently creating. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Nov 28 11:30 boinc- client/ User:group needs to be boinc:boinc rather than root:root. The boinc- client install does correct this but it should be boinc:boinc to start with to avoid the warning. In comment 9 I said: "This exists so that boincmgr can connect to the client automatically." I can't seem to get this to work at all now, in any package, so I don't really know how to test that at the moment. And to further complicate the issue: When purging boinc-client alone you are asked if you want to delete /var/lib/boinc-client. Doing this will remove all the downloaded BOINC projects and so on but it will also recreate this bug. Not doing so could leave a lot of disk space in use. But I think this will be such a rare-use case it can probably be ignored for now. If someone complains then it's something that can be looked at a later point in time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1250652 Title: Far too many dependencies for boinc-manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/1250652/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
