"There is no current release for this package in Ubuntu hardy (i386)" In fact, the Hardy package doesn't exist for any of the architectures. -- [hardy] gnome-desktop-environment is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190950 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to meta-gnome2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
