Great job. Thanks OXullo. :) I guess all that remains now is that the various packages mentioned should package the latest version to get things working again.

6 packages in total are affected (empcommand, magictouch, mttroff, multitet, planarity, sponc). I can take care of fixing the apps upstream, then it'll be just matter of updating the packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409879 Title: sponc can't be started: dependency libavg dropped gameapp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libavg/+bug/1409879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1409879] Re: sponc can't be started: dependency libavg dropped gameapp
Since gameapp.py was intentionally removed from libavg upstream (see https://github.com/libavg/libavg/commit/7e1b4d89cdfe15d1ac37383375ce75adf7fdf04c for details), I reckon this issue won't be fixed in the libavg package. Instead the apps will need to be updated/ported. Looked like the same commit ported a demo program to use app instead, which presumably can be used as an example for what will need to be changed. ** Changed in: libavg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409879 Title: sponc can't be started: dependency libavg dropped gameapp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libavg/+bug/1409879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1409879] Re: sponc can't be started: dependency libavg dropped gameapp
Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better. I get the same error message when attempting to run sponc 1.0+svn6822-0ubuntu2on Ubuntu Vivid. Looks like the underlying reason is that gameapp.py was removed from python-libavg as mentioned in the title. (Compare http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386/python-libavg/filelist with http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386/python-libavg/filelist) I don't know whether it was removed completely or whether there is now a drop-in replacement which should be imported instead. (Also related to bug 1409877 which seems to have the same underlying cause.) ** Changed in: sponc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: libavg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: amd64 i386 trusty utopic vivid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409879 Title: sponc can't be started: dependency libavg dropped gameapp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libavg/+bug/1409879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
