  • Bug#267121: gnome-control-center: this is an unspecified prerequisite f

    From Alexis Huxley@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 20 22:00:16 2004

    Package: gnome-control-center
    Version: 1:2.4.0-4
    Severity: normal

    If GNOME2 is installed, but gnome-control-center isn't then (which is
    quite legal regarding satisfying dependencies), and /etc/init.d/gdm is
    start'ed and then an attempt as anybody to login is made, then the following error message appears:

    The was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

    Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
    correctly.

    The last error message was:

    Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon'

    GNOME will still try to start the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

    I realise that saying 'if GNOME2 is installed' is pretty meaningless,
    but I am no expert in GNOME architecture/packaking and cannot be more
    specific. However, what I can do is include a complete list of packages installed on the system; which is not so big as this is a very freshly installed system. I've had to set COLUMNS=150 in order than package
    names and versions are not chopped, so excuse the very long lines.
    Here it is:
