Bug Description

Binary package hint: mergeant

When installing mergeant, apt-get also brought in the following:
libgda3-sqlite libgnomedb3-4 libgnomedb3-bin libgnomedb3-common

After starting mergeant, I accepted default connection to SalesTest data source.

The problem is that it is not possible to edit the data sources. Pressing the Datasource button or selecting the menuitem brings up an error dialog with the following text:

"Could not find the 'gnome-database-properties' program: Failed to execute child process "gnome-database-properties" (No such file or directory)"

So I tried installing libgnomedb3-bin, but that didn't work because the binary in that file is "gnome-database-properties-3.0" so mergeant doesn' t pick it up.

Perhaps libgnomdb3-bin should use the debian-alternatives system so it can create a symlink from gnome-database-properties to gnome-database-3.0?

Or rather that mergeant should use the "gnome-database-properties-3.0" binary rather than "gnome-database-properties" binary.

This seems to be fixed, in Hardy at least.

Debian's 0.67-1 fixed this, "Add a dependency against libgnomedb3-bin on mergeant (closes: #451776)".
