[Bug 542404] Re: lucid beta upgrade gnome fails
This bug is fixed in the upstream Debian metapackage, which removed the swfdec depend and added a mozilla-plugin-gnash recommend. ** Changed in: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Summary changed: - lucid beta upgrade gnome fails + Package gnome is uninstallable due to conflicting dependencies on epiphany and swfdec-mozilla -- Package gnome is uninstallable due to conflicting dependencies on epiphany and swfdec-mozilla https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 542404] Re: lucid beta upgrade gnome fails
I also cannot install 'gnome' (for reasons of it requiring both epiphany-extensions and swfdec-mozilla, which apparently cannot coexist) but I can install 'gnome-desktop-environment.' Changing from German to Main server did nothing. -- lucid beta upgrade gnome fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Try apt-get install gnome-desktop instead of gnome. Worked for me. - Steven On 10-04-01 06:42 PM, Catch wrote: I'm in the middle of experiencing exactly the same problem.

Catch explained the scenario better. I week ago I manually got gnome installed via .deb packages from another site. I did an update manager again this week and the same scenario as Catch explained occurs. I am going to try another package server mentioned by David W and see the result. -- lucid beta upgrade gnome fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 542404] Re: lucid beta upgrade gnome fails
I was also having this problem, I managed to solve it by changing my package server. In synaptic -settings - repositories I had Download from: set to Server for United Kingdom, changing this to Main Server and the issue disappeared. The dependencies for the epiphany-extensions package no longer includes a conflict for swfdec- mozilla so GNOME is again installable. -- lucid beta upgrade gnome fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information.

We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures. At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible). Thanks! When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's Help - Report a Problem menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected.
