Bug#534476: rhythmbox needs to depend on gvfs and gvfs-backends

[M. Vefa Bicakci]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.1-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

Today I installed rhythmbox for the first time on my Debian Sid system.
I don't have GNOME installed, so my system does not have all of the
packages that would be on a system with GNOME.

After running rhythmbox a few times, I noticed that I was not able
to browse Magnatune and Jamendo. Then I ran rhythmbox with the
--debug command line option, and I noticed the following line in
the output:

=== 8< ===
[GioChunkLoader._info_cb] /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/rb/Loader.py:229:
error checking size of source file http://magnatune.com/info/song_info_xml.zip:
The specified location is not supported
=== >8 ===

While getting some help in #rhythmbox on irc.gimp.org, I was told that
rhythmbox switched from gnome vfs to gvfs, and that I was probably missing
a gvfs related package. Indeed, I noticed that even though gvfs was installed,
my system did /not/ have the "gvfs-backends" package installed, which meant
that the http backend for gvfs was not installed.

After installing the gvfs-backends package, everything started to work
properly with regards to Magnatune and Jamendo.

I believe that "gvfs" and "gvfs-backends" should be at least suggested, if not
depended on (which is my preference), by "rhythmbox" as these packages provide
important functionality to rhythmbox.
