User error - if installing things that way breaks, don't do that. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: During a custom installation, I can select any of the system-config-* packages, all requiring root access to run, and deselect the usermode-gtk package. After installation, attempting to run any of these system-config-* packages without usermode-gtk causes them to fade away into the night :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): comps-3-0.20041103 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. During a custom installation of FC3, deselect usermode-gtk 2. After installation, attempt to run any of the system-config-* packages. Actual Results: The packages do not start up due to missing package usermode-gtk Expected Results: usermode-gtk should be installed if any of the system-config-* packages are installed. Additional info: I think all the system-config-* packages should be moved out of X Windows System and moved to the Administration Tools. usermode-gtk should then be made a mandatory (standard) package of Administration Tools. The following packages appear in both package groups anyway: system-config-soundcard system-logviewer system-config-date system-config-packages system-config-users system-config-network The following packages appear in X Window System but not in Administration Tools, but I see no reason why not? system-config-printer-gui system-config-services system-switch-mail-gnome system-config-display Another solution is to make usermode-gtk mandatory for X Window System, but I like this solution far less. My apologies to the comps maintainer for picking on him! :)
