Conduit crashes without python-gnome2-extras

I can confirm this bug-report on a newly installed hardy machine. Installing python-gnome2-extras fixes the login window.

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
Conduit 0.3.6 (official package)

the bug is fixed in the current intrepid version

Still happens in Ubuntu Jaunty, fresh install.

Could you please launch conduit in a terminal to see the exact output. Conduit doesn't need gtkmozembed on Jaunty (it depends on webkit).

I think at least facebook need gtkmozembed (in python-gnome2-extras).

Here is the attachment since the UI is visible.

Of course, the window asking for login into facebook does not show.

I confirmed, the current version on Jaunty still need gtkmozembed and the python-gnome2-extras package for at least Facebook dataprovider.

I agree.

Python-webkit is broken in Jaunty (hangs), so the conduit Jaunty package must be build and configured to use gtkmozembed, and dependencies adjusted accordingly.

Arghh

Attached is a patch to add recommends for python-gnome2-extras. As conduit can work without Facebook dataprovider, a depends should be a bit too much in this case.

For Karmic, webkit is used instead of gtkmozembed. I set the bug as Fix released, but I let a task for Jaunty with the debdiff.

The debdiff looks good, so consider this an ACK from ~motu-sru to proceed with uploading to proposed.

However, I do suggest following the procedure at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates?action=show&redirect=SRU#Procedure

Particularly item #2 about revising the original bug description to clearly state the problem and how to test for it.

It seems someone accepted the package back then, without using sru-accept to call for testing. The updated package has been in jaunty-proposed for half a year, can someone please test this and give feedback here? Thanks!

This update has been in jaunty-proposed for half a year or longer, without any testing feedback. I removed the jaunty-proposed packagage again.
