Bug#329873: Problems with aptitude upgrade

[Bill Dugan]

Package: Gnome

This bug happened to me twice, on two separate installs.

I did an aptitude upgrade today by doing these commands as root:


aptitude update

aptitude -f -with-recommends dist-upgrade

After downloading and installing about 70 packages, upon reboot and starting
Gnome, I get 3 question dialog boxes:

Question
The "Show Desktop" applet appears to have died unexpectedly. Do you want to
reload this applet? (If you choose not to reload it at this time you can
always add it by right clicking on the panel and clicking on the "Add to
Panel" submenu.) OK / Cancel

Question
The "Window List" applet appears to have died unexpectedly. Do you want to
reload this applet? (If you choose not to reload it at this time you can
always add it by right clicking on the panel and clicking on the "Add to
Panel" submenu.) OK / Cancel

Question
The "Workspace Switcher" applet appears to have died unexpectedly. Do you
want to reload this applet? (If you choose not to reload it at this time you
can always add it by right clicking on the panel and clicking on the "Add to
Panel" submenu.) OK / Cancel


After this happened the first time, I nuked the hard disk and started over
with a sarge installation from CD, then did the aptitude upgrade as above
and the same thing happened again.
