This appears to only need a rebuild. I've tested this via pbuilder-dist on bionic as well as my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntubudgie- dev/+archive/ubuntu/unstable-test/+packages) that has proposed enabled.
pixmaps is now a folder in the rebuilt binary not a file as before. Why the sync from debian produced a pixmaps file I don't know because on debian sid gnome-split has a pixmaps folder ** Patch added: "buildonly.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-split/+bug/1758120/+attachment/5141001/+files/buildonly.debdiff ** Changed in: gnome-split (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => fossfreedom (fossfreedom) ** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * The package cannot be installed on bionic since the package that has + been produced has the /usr/share/pixmaps as a file not as a folder. + + [Test Case] + + * Install the package on any Ubuntu flavour + + [Regression Potential] + + * None - the patch is a no change rebuild so fixes something that is + fundamentally broken. + + [Other Info] + + * None + + [Original Description] + I'm using Pantheon on ubuntu 18.04.
