https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=420711 Summary: empathy should install backends or give a clue what to install Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnieuwenhuizen@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Installing empathy does not result in anything useful. An icon appears on the gnome panel in the info area. Clicking that icon opens an account dialog that says No Accounts Configured To add a new account, you first have to install a backend for each protocol you want to use. That sounds not only plausable but also clean, modular and useless. Asking zypper does not give me more clues 14:55:32 janneke@peder:~ $ LANG= zypper search -d empathy Reading installed packages... S | Name | Summary | Type --+---------------+----------------------------------+-------- i | empathy | Empathy IM Application Framework | package | empathy-devel | Empathy IM Application Framework | package i | empathy-lang | Languages for package empathy | package Otoh, on Ubuntu, installing empathy also installs three backends. If it didn't, searching with apt gives good clues. It uses Telepathy in the description and following the dependencies lead to telepathy-* backends: $ apt-cache search empathy empathy - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy empathy-megaphone-applet - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy libempathy-common - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy libempathy-dev - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy libempathy-doc - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy libempathy-gtk-common - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy libempathy-gtk-dev - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy libempathy-gtk-doc - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy libempathy-gtk15 - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy libempathy14 - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy python-empathy - High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy telepathy-gnome - Telepathy GNOME components 15:49:25 janneke@heerbeest:~ $ apt-cache depends telepathy-gnome telepathy-gnome Dependencies: empathy Dependencies: telepathy-core 15:49:31 janneke@heerbeest:~ $ apt-cache depends telepathy-core telepathy-core Dependencies: telepathy-butterfly Dependencies: telepathy-gabble Dependencies: telepathy-haze Dependencies: telepathy-idle Dependencies: telepathy-salut Dependencies: telepathy-sofiasip Dependencies: telepathy-stream-engine Reccomends: galago-telepathy-feed -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
