Description Bill Crawford 2001-12-08 02:56:51 UTC

Description of Problem:
An extra entry for "HTML Viewer" appears under a menu tree item labelled
"*MISSINGNAME*" in the control-center

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control-center-1.4.0.1-19
gtkhtml-1.0.0-1

How Reproducible:
Open gnomecc with the latest gtkhtml installed ...

Additional Information:
Stray file is /usr/share/control-center/capplets/gtkhtml-properties.desktop
which appears to be a misplaced copy of
/usr/share/control-center/Documents/gtkhtml-properties.desktop ...

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2001-12-16 16:25:26 UTC

Blah, gtkhtml probably expects the newer control center shell. No plans to
upgrade to that so will probably just move gtkhtml-properties.desktop

Comment 2 Martin Norback 2001-12-17 13:36:28 UTC

gtkhtml also provides the following files:

/etc/CORBA/servers
/usr/bin
/usr/share/control-center
/usr/share/control-center/Documents
/usr/share/control-center/capplet
/usr/share/gnome
/usr/share/gnome/apps
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Settings
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Settings/Documents
/usr/share/gnome/html
/usr/share/oaf

which are provided by other, more basic packages, and should not be provided by
the gtkhtml package.

I've probably missed a few here as well.

All of these will trigger the nasty "directory is not empty" when removing the
rpm, at least I think so.

On a side note, doing tpm -qf /usr/bin gives the following:

filesystem-2.0.7-1
koffice-2.0.1-2
kdegames-2.1.1-1
kdegraphics-2.1.1-1
klyx-0.11-2
gtkhtml-1.0.0-1

so there are more packages than just gtkhtml that does this thing.

Comment 3 Bill Crawford 2001-12-17 14:43:00 UTC

This isn't necessarily a bad thing with shared paths ... it means that whatever
order you remove packages, as long as all the files get removed, so do the
paths.  If you remove packages on Solaris, for example, you'll see messages like
"Not removing share path /foo/bar/fum" ...

Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2001-12-17 15:14:19 UTC

Having multiple packages own a directory is OK, though owning /usr/bin is a bit
silly it's also harmless.
