Looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/gnome/uim-applet-gnome it becomes clear that the dapper version of uim-gnome-applet did not depend on uim-gtk2.0 but only on uim-common which then only recommended uim- gtk2.0. This confirms this bug report. http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/gnome/uim-applet-gnome confirms it has been fixed in edgy.
@MOTU: Can be fixed easily by adding dependency in dapper as well and recompiling. ** Changed in: uim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- uim-gnome-applet package misses dependency on uim-gtk2.0 in dapper https://launchpad.net/bugs/53244 -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
