Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

This is on feisty. When I upgraded some gnome-applets failed. See:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399052

Looking further I see this:
% dpkg -L gnome-applets
Package `gnome-applets' does not contain any files (!)

So I rebuild the gnome-applets package and installed that.
Now I get the following:

% apt-get -f install

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
   gnome-applets (2.17.1-0ubuntu3 )
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED
   gnome-applets (2.17.1-0ubuntu3)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Abort.

The applets are now showing in the panel, but this is kind of annoying.

Thank you for your bug. Does it work fine if you reinstall the feisty package? What mirror are you using? You are the only one who opened a bug about that, it makes likely that was a local problem on your computer during the package installation

looks to be confirmed:

% apt-get clean
% apt-get install --reinstall gnome-applets
% dpkg -L gnome-applets
  ... list of files ...

Strange indeed,

Closing then, that's not an Ubuntu bug, maybe a mirror problem which has been fixed
