Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-kickstart

Dear Colleagues,

system-config-kickstart doesn't start up as expected.

Errors follow:

shermann@build-emt64:~$ system-config-kickstart
/usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:82: Murrine configuration option "highlight_ratio" will be deprecated in future releases. Please use "highlight_shade" instead.

Further more,

if you fix this error (e.g. reading the provided tab file instead of the mentioned one)
mostly all languages are totally wrong in countryNames[] list in hardwareLists.py

e.g. you split up the file /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED into the iso lang codes e.g. de_DE.UTF-8.
You remove the .UTF-8 and use split out the DE from de_DE.
Then you compare this with the countryNames dict, but there is no "DE" or "de" inside.

I wonder if the very first issue is that the iso_3166.tab is totally missing...
Regarding packages.ubuntu.com and searching for this file, the file is no more provided by any package.

This bug was fixed in the package system-config-kickstart - 2.5.20-0ubuntu19

---------------
system-config-kickstart (2.5.20-0ubuntu19) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Use isoquery to fetch country lists (LP: #346797).
  * Move Japanese manual page back to /usr/share/man/ja/, since man-db
    detects its encoding automatically these days.
