Bug#525050: junior-gnome: Won't install. Missing ccd.conf

[vittorio-7]

Hi, impressively quick reply. Thanks.

Well, I am installing what synaptic is offering to me. My sources .list is pretty basic, so I don't think it should mess up with versions

deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main
/etc/apt/sources.list (END)

It is actually installed, see below

Ok, I tried a reinstall of junior-config, but it still complains about the missing file, output is as follows (sorry, it is in italian):

Configuro junior-config (1.13) ...
Custom Debian Distribution configuration file /etc/cdd/cdd.conf is missing.
dpkg: errore processando junior-config (--configure):
 il sottoprocesso post-installation script ha restituito un codice di errore 255
dpkg: problemi con le dipendenze impediscono la configurazione di junior-gnome:
 junior-gnome dipende da junior-config (= 1.13); comunque:
  Il pacchetto junior-config non è ancora configurato.
dpkg: errore processando junior-gnome (--configure):
 problemi con le dipendenze - lasciato non configurato
Sono occorsi degli errori processando:
 junior-config
 junior-gnome
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

Hmmm, I was confused by the information reportbug provided.

Fine for now - because I can parse the relevant part.  For the future doing an
   unset LANG
or something like that is a good idea when reporting problems.

Yesterday evening a seemed to be blind because the problem is not in
junior-config but rather ion cdd-common.  I'm afraid you detected a
flaw in the upgrade path I tried to provide from cdd-common to blends-common.
You might have noticed that Custom Debian Distributions are now called
Debian Pure Blends and thus I renamed the package.  To gain compatibility
a dummy package cdd-common was builded - but it just contains links to
the blends tools.

I think what I was missing is to provide links to the new config files
as well and honestly - I wonder whether we are asking for even more
trouble if I'm doing so.

IMHO your very specific problem is that you are trying to install the
junior packages which were builded against the old cdd-dev tools while
the new blends-dev tools just hit testing.  I currently have no better
idea than suggesting to try the junior-* packages that currently sit
in unstable (and will move to testing next week most probably).  This
should work fine and than the issue you observed should be void.

I don't think that I can do more about this problem in the current state
than suggesting to use the metapackages from unstable (and only these -
they should work perfectly with a testing system) ... and say sorry
for the confusion.

Thanks for your bug report anyway
