[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#524606: xfce4-panel: Missing Suggests/Recommends on xfdesktop4

[Jens Seidel]

Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.6.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

since some days I miss a start menu in xfce4-panel. First I assumed it is
because not all xfce packages of version 4.6 where compiled yet and some
older packages from 4.4 are still used. But today even the last old package
xfce4-session could be upgraded to 4.6.0-2 but the problem remains:

$ xfce4-panel
(xfce4-panel:5193): xfce4-panel-WARNING **: No X-XFCE-{Module,Exec} entry
found in "/usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-menu.desktop".

(xfce4-panel:5193): xfce4-panel-WARNING **: Failed to create plugin
"xfce4-menu"


/usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-menu.desktop from package
xfdesktop4-data contains
"X-XFCE-Exec=/usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-menu-plugin". The problem
was that /usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-menu-plugin provided by
xfdesktop4 was not installed.


Since xfce4-panel uses xfce4-menu.desktop from xfdesktop4-data and
xfce4-menu-plugin from xfdesktop4 please add a (weak) dependence on
xfdesktop4 (which depends itself on xfdesktop4-data).

Maybe even xfdesktop4-data should depend on xfdesktop4 even if this creates
a circular dependency.

After installing xfdesktop4 the warnings vanished. I still have no start
menu, even after calling update-menu, but I'm sure it will work again soon.
