[Bug 964694] Re: 12.04 Beta 2 gparted won't run

[Phillip Susi]

Is this on the livecd or after installing?  On the livecd gparted is
already preinstalled, so you don't need to install it.  If this is post
install, then I'm starting to think there is a bug in the installer.  I
have seen this happen once or twice now with other packages that are
installed on the livecd, but removed during installation.  After
installing, the files are removed, bug dpkg thinks they are still
installed.  This may be what is happening here: libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a is
installed in the livecd, but after installing to the hd, the library
files themselves are removed, but dpkg still thinks the package is
installed, so when you go to install gparted, it doesn't install the
library because it thinks it is already installed, when in fact, it
isn't.

  jerry at Aspire1:~$ sudo gparted
  /usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  Looks to me like apt-get install gparted did not load the library
  libgtkmm-2.4.so.1

  Tried synaptic re-install of gparted.  Same problem.

  Anything to do to get gparted running?

  Thanks, Jerry
