** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome-default-settings (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Fix Committed
** Description changed:
Impact
------
A user that tries to install vanilla-gnome-default-settings (or its reverse
dependency vanilla-gnome-desktop) gets an error every time they use apt. There
isn't a built in way in apt to fix this error.
Test Case
---------
Enabled proposed updates
From a terminal, run
sudo apt install vanilla-gnome-default-settings
The install should complete without any dpkg errors.
+ Also, test uninstalling.
+ sudo apt remove vanilla-gnome-default-settings
+ The removal should complete without any dpkg errors.
+
+ (And then install again if you want it installed.)
+
Where Problems Could Occur
--------------------------
- This is a one-line typo fix. It's not really possible to make this worse
since the current package already leaves dpkg in a very unhappy state.
+ This is a two-line typo fix. It's not really possible to make this worse
since the current package already leaves dpkg in a very unhappy state.
Original Bug Report
-------------------
Keen to try out Gnome 40 on impish, I enabled impish-proposed and updated,
all was fine. I prefer the upstream vanilla gnome experience so installed
vanilla-gnome-desktop which depends on vanilla-gnome-default-settings.
However, vanilla-gnome-default-settings installation failed:
Setting up vanilla-gnome-default-settings (20.04.1) ...
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for gdm3-theme.gresource
dpkg: error processing package vanilla-gnome-default-settings (--configure):
installed vanilla-gnome-default-settings package post-installation script
subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
vanilla-gnome-default-settings
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Impish Indri (development branch)
Release: 21.10
2) $ apt-cache policy vanilla-gnome-default-settings
vanilla-gnome-default-settings:
Installed: 20.04.1
Candidate: 20.04.1
Version table:
*** 20.04.1 500
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/universe amd64 Packages
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/universe i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) I would expect the package to install without errors.
4) Instead it does not complete installation.
Further attempts to --configure etc also fail.
I understand this is software in development, I'm just trying to help.
Thanks for all your hard work.
