[Bug 269936] Re: lacks dependency on metakit

[Luis Villa]

You're right that the suggested fix results in an uninstallable package,
so we should continue this discussion and attempt to get to the root of
it, but it is a distinct bug from 269935. I'm running all the most up-
to-date packages from Hardy and ran a dist-upgrade again to check last
night, removing all remnants of gutsy from my apt sources.list. Versions
(at least of gourmet) aren't mixed, as gourmet had never been installed
until about 30 minutes before this bug was reported. I'm happy to do
whatever is necessary to clarify my dependencies and figure out what
you've got installed that I don't (or vice-versa), and why.

If there is a problem here, you should be working with me to fix it, not
pulling the old 'well, it works for me' trick. That's a very old, very
boring, very unconstructive 'solution'.

(As with regards to being someone who 'does a lot of loud handwaving',
well, google me. I've constructively dealt with and resolved more bugs
on good days than your launchpad record indicates you having ever dealt
with, period. Yes, this bug irritates me, and yes, I'm behaving slightly
petulantly here, but yes, you're shipping software that appears
completely broken in at least two separate ways on at least one user's
computer, and as usual launchpad doesn't even offer me the option to do
the right thing (set the proper priority/severity, much less get
attention for it.))

(And no, I haven't run Debian in since about 1999. So that's not my pet
peeve, but you can continue making up my motivations if it makes you
feel better.)
