Bug#549549: Info received (Bug#549549: libdeskbar-tracker: Wrong installation directory in libdeskbar-applet = doesn't show up in deskbar)
Apparently this was (wrongfully) changed in http://git.gnome.org/cgit/deskbar-applet/commit/?id=00f6cf7f4da6f4b7446f8177d172324f72b79648 as a result of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589094 the package now uses $libexecdir/deskbar-applet/ where it used to have $libdir/deskbar-applet. This not only breaks existing 3rd party plugins, it also was not changed in all places, i.e. it is not consistent. As already mentioned, the pkg-config files still uses $libdir/deskbar-applet. I'd prefer if the modules path kept stable and previous behaviour was restored.

Bug#549549: libdeskbar-tracker: Wrong installation directory in libdeskbar-applet = doesn't show up in deskbar
Package: libdeskbar-tracker Version: 0.6.95-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Deskbar applet loads modules from... /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible ...while 'libdeskbar-tracker' installs them in: /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible This prevents the applet from showing up in deskbar-applet's Preferences list of plugins and makes the package unusable.
