So this looks like it is an Ubuntu-specific problem. In Debian, xorg depends on:
xfonts-base (>= 1:1.0.0-1), xfonts-100dpi (>= 1:1.0.0-1), xfonts-75dpi (>= 1:1.0.0-1), xfonts-scalable (>= 1:1.0.0-1), This was changed in Ubuntu some time ago: xorg (1:7.5+6ubuntu7) natty; urgency=low * debian/control: Drop xfonts-{75,100}dpi from Depends: to Suggests:. We don't need them for a normal desktop installation, and even xcalc/xterm don't need them, but they are quite sizable. -- Martin Pitt <martin.p...@ubuntu.com> Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:41:09 -0600 Paul, shall I just upload NEdit with the added Recommends line to Ubuntu for now? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415309 Title: "Open file with Nedit" from PCManFM causes Nedit to crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nedit/+bug/1415309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
