[19:06]  * penguin42 wonders what to do with bugs in google earth reported against googleeath-package
[19:14] <penguin42> damn, and now I've triggered another one I've never seen before
[19:24] <hggdh> !info googleearth-pacakge
[19:24] <ubot2`> 'maverick' is not a valid distribution:
[19:24] <hggdh> !info googleearth-pacakge raring
[19:24] <ubot2`> 'raring' is not a valid distribution:
[19:24] <hggdh> duh
[19:24] <penguin42> bad bot!
[19:24] <hggdh> very, very bad bot...
[19:25] <penguin42> !info googleeath-package
[19:25] <ubot2`> 'maverick' is not a valid distribution:
[19:25] <penguin42> yeh, doesn't even help if you spell package right
[19:25] <hggdh> yeah, no distro is good enough, it seems
[19:27] <hggdh> and it does have two 'ee'
[19:27] <hggdh> hum. It seems to exist just to build a package for google earth...
[19:29] <hggdh> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/googleearth-package
[19:29] <hggdh> penguin42: my guess is close invalid, suggesting to report directly to google
[19:30] <hggdh> unless there is a problem with the package that g-e-package builds
[19:30] <penguin42> yeh, there seem to be some relating to the package that downloads/packages it
[19:30] <hggdh> then... valid, mesays
[19:31] <penguin42> nod
[19:31] <penguin42> hmm there is also the fact that google now have a download a .deb which frankly is probably the better thing to do
[19:32] <hggdh> but, given it is a multiverse package, I would not hold my breath on it. Even more given that it does not seem to have been updated since 2011
[19:32] <hggdh> penguin42: agreed
[19:33] <penguin42> yeh it does seem to basically work, the only real fix it needs is for 64bit to have the right dependencies, but now they have the right debs it is probably not the right route now
[19:35] <Ampelbein> penguin42: I guess with google providing debs it would make sense to remove that package?
[19:35] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Yeh I'd say probably so
[19:36] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Although Google's package has the same problem - they're also the same version
[19:36] <penguin42> it's got a dependency against ia32-gtk-libs
[19:36] <penguin42> sorry, ia32-libs-gtk
[19:37] <penguin42> has google really not updated the linux ge since 2011?
[19:38] <Ampelbein> That would be unfortunate
[19:38]  * penguin42 downloads the rpm to see if it's any newer
[19:40] <penguin42> yeh looks like the rpm is 7.1.1 where as the deb is 6.0.3
[19:40] <Ampelbein> penguin42: The debian package fixes the multiarch issue. http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/googleearth-package/news/20130806T111914Z.html
[19:40] <Ampelbein> So it's just a matter of syncing that over.
[19:41] <penguin42> Ampelbein: OK, well the bug for the 64bit ism is bug 336611
[19:41] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 336611 in googleearth-package (Ubuntu) "googleearth-package does not install required deps on 64bit systems" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/336611
[19:42] <penguin42> I wonder if the debian package also gets a newer version?
[19:42] <Ampelbein> looks that way. Let me try in a unstable chroot
[19:43] <Ampelbein> Well, this is gonna take a while. 11.2 kb/sec.
[19:44] <penguin42> youch
[19:45] <Ampelbein> I wonder if my wife will yell if I cut the IPTV stream ;-)
[19:45]  * penguin42 has just installed the google-earth rpm on his OpenSUSE box and bizarre, it's just installed an at job that runs a cron...
[19:48] <penguin42> Ampelbein: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/earth/HU5sNXOU9r8  possibly that v7 googleearth is knackered
[19:50] <Ampelbein> penguin42: The debian googleearth installer produces version 6.0.3.2197
[19:51] <penguin42> ok, I think that's the same version
[19:51] <penguin42> Ampelbein: So yeh it's probably safe to sync it then
[19:53] <Ampelbein> penguin42: Well, the debian googleearth package that is created is uninstallable as well.
[19:53] <penguin42> haha oh well, no progress then
[19:53] <penguin42> what's it complaining about?
[19:54] <Ampelbein> googleearth depends on ia32-libs-gtk | libgtk2.0-0:i386 | ia32-libs;
[19:54] <Ampelbein> Hmm.
[19:54] <Ampelbein> Oh, I don't have multiarch enabled I think.
[19:55] <penguin42> Ampelbein: So one of the other bugs was a query as to whether installing the googleearth-package should actually install the dependencies of the googleearth package; while a bit weird, I think it would make sense
[19:56] <Ampelbein> penguin42: When enabling multiarch, the new debian installer package works.
[19:56] <penguin42> ok, cool
[19:56] <penguin42> Ampelbein: Well that sounds like a worthy improvement to me
[19:57] <Ampelbein> Agreed.
[19:57] <Ampelbein> Do you want to file a sync request bug?
[19:57] <penguin42> yeh can do - have you got an example; never done one of those
[20:00] <Ampelbein> penguin42: The script "requestsync" will take care of that.
[20:00] <Ampelbein> It's in ubuntu-dev-tools I think
[20:01] <penguin42> <installs>
[20:04] <penguin42> Ampelbein: The debian package you had was 1.0.0 ?
[20:04] <Ampelbein> penguin42: Yes.
[20:05] <penguin42> Ampelbein: bug 1217077
[20:05] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1217077 in googleearth-package (Ubuntu) "Sync googleearth-package 1.0.0 (multiverse) from Debian unstable (contrib)" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1217077
[20:07] <Ampelbein> penguin42: I'll sponsor that when I built and tested it.
[20:07] <Ampelbein> (In a saucy chroot)
[20:08] <penguin42> Thanks
[20:11] <Ampelbein> Thank you for bringing attention to the issue.
[20:11] <penguin42> no problem
[20:12] <penguin42> one of those things that starts from coming back from a long walk and wanting to find out how far I'd walked....
