[Bug 1242413] Re: nautilus-dropbox needs a dependency on libappindicator1

[Mattia Rizzolo]

** Description changed:

- Hi!
+ [Impact]
  
- When installing nautilus-dropbox, everything works well except that
- there is no notification icon in the notification area. This is fixed
- very easily by manually installing the "libappindicator1" package right
- after installing nautilus-dropbox and logging out and back in.
+  * On a fresh Ubuntu 13.10 Sucay Salamander installation, if a user
+ install the Dropbox client from the Ubuntu archive (multiverse section)
+ there is no icon in the notification area on the panel, even if the
+ program works fine.
  
- This seems to imply that the nautilus-dropbox package should have a
- dependency set for libappindicator1 so that it gets installed at the
- same time if not already present on the system.
+  * The fix is very easy, as adding `libappindicator1` in the the
+ Recommends field.
  
- Should be fairly trivial to fix.
+ [Test Case]
  
- Gilles
+  * Simply, on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 13.10 install the Dropbox client (from the Ubuntu Software Center or via the command line using `sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox`).
+  * Start the program someway (from the dash, for example).
+  * Dropbox starts working (there are notification bubbles), but there is no notification icon on the panel.
