[Bug 778054] Re: Trouble when removing transitional packages

 

Hello Fred, or anyone else affected,

Accepted system-config-printer into trusty-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/system-config-printer/1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.2 in a few hours, and
then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  system-config-printer-gnome depends on python-gobject, which means
  python-gobject cannot be removed from the system. python-gobject is a
  transitional package, and packages should be updated to no longer
  depend on it.

  [Test Case]

  * Install system-config-printer-gnome, and verify that python-gobject
  is not installed with it.

  * If it is already installed, you should be able to run 'apt-get purge
  python-gobject' without removing system-config-printer-gnome.

  [Regression Potential]

  Negligible. There are no code changes. The fix only removes a
  dependency on a transitional package that doesn't provide any files.
