Bug#261627: gnome-games: unresolved dependency problems

[Norbert Bottlaender-Prier]

Package: gnome-games
Version: 1:2.4.3-3
Severity: normal


after not having played "solitaire" and "freecell" for some weeks, both games
didn't work any more.
they crashed saying something like "sol stopped..." while loading card images.
as in the meantime, i had upgraded some gnome-dependent programs (sorry, list
not available), i presume this had changed some gnome-libraries needed by these
games, but without notice when running apt-get.
but regarding packages.debian.org, there was no file named "sol" in the
"gnome-games" package which i had installed, instead it was in
"gnome-card-games" (which i had *not* installed).
so, i tried "apt-get install gnome-card-games" which did *not* work out first.
the command refused replacing of some files. (sorry can't tell you which ones)
finally, "apt-get remove gnome-games", "apt-get remove gnome-games-data", then
"apt-get remove libgdkcardimage0" finally allowed me to successfully
"apt-get install gnome-card-games". no further problem for me, as anyway,
"freecell" and "solitaire" were the only games i played, out of the gnome-games
suite.
but maybe there are problems for others?

p.s.: see also bugs #218293 & #220978
