Description Robert Schiele (reporter) 2011-02-08 12:56:31 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION: 20.2010.36-2 (latest CSSU upgrade from testing as of the
creation of this report)
(Settings > General > About product)

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
(Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message
Connection Failed appears))
1. Updated to latest CSSU upgrade from testing (had previous CSSU upgrade
installed before that did not show the problem).
2. Waited for the system to reboot.
3. Rebootet the system again several times to rule out this being a one-time
issue.

EXPECTED OUTCOME: 
Desktop shows with the email notification widget as usual. This is the widget
that shows the subjects of new mails in your IMAP mailbox.

ACTUAL OUTCOME: 
Desktop shows as normal but the email notification is missing. It also is no
longer in the list of widgets to add.

REPRODUCIBILITY: 
(always, less than 1/10, 5/10, 9/10)
always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: 
several but besides CSSU they are all high-level application packages unrelated
to low-level system, desktop, or email functionality

OTHER COMMENTS: 
I am technically fluent on Linux, thus if you need additional technical
information from my system feel free to ask for specific details.

Unable to reproduce, the widget's still there for me.

Try apt-get --reinstall install modest-home-applet in a root shell to reinstall
the applet.

Marking as RESOLVED WORKSFORME.

Ok, this indeed was a good pointer. In fact I found that this package was no
longer installed.  Thus it turns out that the bug was not in the package itself
but something in the SSU update process must be broken that made this package
to uninstall.

Thanks. I think this is a dupe of #11831 which I will re-open.

It sounds as if we need to make mp-fremantle-community-pr have floating version
dependencies on ALL the same packages as mp-fremantle-generic-pr, or have the
enabler mark all the packages depended on by the current mp-fremantle-...-pr as
manually installed.
