[Bug 1424362] Re: no permissions to install or remove packages in vivid daily lubuntu beta 1

 

Attached is a diff of the manifests of VIvid Alpha 1 and the 20150318
release, grepped carefully for Lubuntu and LXDE components. I think most
of these things are not very suspect. There's no difference in lubuntu-
default-settings. The lubuntu-core and lubuntu-desktop is of no concern
(they're just seeds and anything different in them would show in the
manifest).

I do note there is a different version of lubuntu-software-center, but
as we tested that to not be an issue in other desktop environments,
that's unlikely to be it (for reference here is the diff between the two
versions https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-software-center-team
/lubuntu-software-center/lubuntu-software-center-
trunk/revision/174?remember=167&compare_revid=167).

I do notice lxsession has gone through a relatively major change in
version, which is consistent with the big changes it has gone through
lately. That being said, I think it would be wise if we tested the new
version on an Alpha 1 system and see if we can reproduce and/or if we
use the old version on daily.
