Bug Description

-- StableReleaseUpdate information follows --

Impact statement: Attempting to invoke the sawfish-ui command in a pristine Lucid or lucid-proposed install fails (also stated below in the original defect report).

Bug fix: Uploaded and available in Maverick as of 1:1.3.5.2-1ubuntu3

Minimal patch: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/sawfish/+bug/616115/+attachment/1492196/+files/sawfish_1.3.5.2-1ubuntu1.2.debdiff

TEST CASE: Install sawfish from lucid or lucid-proposed and attempt to use sawfish-ui. Note that the error message as reported below occurs.

Regression potential: Low to none -- none identified

-- Original defect report follows --

Binary package hint: sawfish

rep is not list as a depdendency, so executing sawfish-ui gives me "exec: 8: rep: not found".

installing rep fixes this error and sawfish-ui runs correctly.

Hmm, there is an existing dependency on rep-gtk already. Can you confirm that having rep-gtk installed *but not rep* reproduces this behavior?

Accepted sawfish into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

SRU verification for Lucid:
I have reproduced the problem with sawfish 1:1.3.5.2-1ubuntu1 in lucid and have verified that the version of sawfish 1:1.3.5.2-1ubuntu1.2 in -proposed fixes the issue and rep is installed as a dependency.

But bug 573197 (sawfish < 1.5.2 incompatible with rep >= 0.90) needs a fix too.

I'm marking as verification-done because the issue reported here is fixed but the package still need a fix.

Daniel, do you plan to fix the version in Karmic or is it a won't fix ?
