The missing package is wnck-sharp, but it's not really a dependency that's
missing here. The crash is caused by a plugin the user downloaded. There are
plugins for a all kinds of different things and adding dependencies for all of
them, or even for just the official plugins doesn't seem like the right thing.
There would surely be another bug opened saying "gnome-do depends on many
packages it doesn't actually need".
There is a tarball for the gnome-do-plugins which we should package again, but
it has dependencies we would also have to package. In future releases gnome-do
will expect the plugins to be packaged by the distro, but that will not solve
the user's problem for 11.1. For 11.2 maybe.
So the real problem here is that gnome-do is crashing when it can't load a
plugin. Instead of crashing it should disable the plugin (and maybe notify the
user, or even call out to packagekit to request that the dep be installed).
This much of the bug should be reported upstream, probably in two parts, a bug
report for the crash and an enhancement request for packagekit magic.
Vincent: what, if anything, would you like me to do about this bug?
