[Brian Murray]

Hello nabin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-split into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
split/1.2-2build0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: gnome-split (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

  3.6.0-2 with nondirectory

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The package cannot be installed on bionic since the package that
  has been produced has the /usr/share/pixmaps as a file not as a
  folder.

  [Test Case]

   * Install the package on any Ubuntu flavour

  [Regression Potential]

   * None - the patch is a no change rebuild so fixes something that is
  fundamentally broken.

  [Other Info]
   
   * None
