referenced privacy panel is missing - package dependency problem

It's not missing, it's just extended and renamed to "Security & Privacy", which should be reflected in that legal notice. However, UI freeze has passed, and that change is reasonably not important enough to justify a freeze exception.

Thanks for having a look.

Unfortunately, that panel is not there, either. Which package provides it?

What?? In trusty the package is unity-control-center, as you mentioned. Can you please provide a screenshot?

Sure.

$ apt-cache policy unity-control-center
unity-control-center:
  Installed: 14.04.3+14.04.20140319-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 14.04.3+14.04.20140319-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 14.04.3+14.04.20140319-0ubuntu1 0

Weird.

Can you please make sure that the ubuntu-desktop package is installed and then do

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and let us know if it makes a difference.

The legal notice bug was already reported.

If my suggestions in comment #5 doesn't help, please file a separate bug about that.

Gunnar, I have not installed the ubuntu-desktop package because at least in the past it pulls in a bunch of stuff I did not want.

I believe this bug is not about the wording but I suspect about a missing dependency from unity-control-center to whatever package that privacy panel is located in. I'll undupe.

So you explicitly don't want the whole Ubuntu, but still file a bug because things are missing... Sorry, but it sounds inconsistent to me. unity-control-center is not a standalone application - it's an Ubuntu component!

I don't think it's inconsistent at all. If that legal notice was part of something I did not install, obviously I wouldn't bother with it. But since the software I have installed refers to something that is not automatically installed by it, that is a bug. Maybe the requirement in Debian that symbolic links from a package to files outside the package are OK but only if the outside package is a dependency could serve as an analogy for illustration purposes here. Makes sense?

That's why I said "I believe this bug is not about the wording but I suspect about a missing dependency from unity-control-center to whatever package that privacy panel is located in."

The package "activity-log-manager-control-center" might be the missing one.

Lutz, thanks for that hint. Spot on! Or almost, since that package is the transitional dummy for activity-log-manager which indeed does contain that Privacy applet. The placement for it seems a little odd upon first look, configuring something that isn't even part of the package. Or, I wonder if activity-log-manager is indeed the one collecting and transmitting that data about the dash searches.

activity-log-manager-control-center is indeed the package referred to by ubuntu-desktop.

Since it's only a Recommends, it wouldn't have gotten installed here even if I had installed that package. If that's where that applet lives it needs to be a Depends. But I'd rather see the configuration applet move somewhere else. I think this packaging still needs a bit of cleaning up.

ubuntu-desktop should probably be updated to point to the ultimate destination package rather than the transitional package.

Neither the name of the package nor its description would have ever led me to figure that this is where the control applet lives. Again, IMVHO this points to the possibility of a little bit of reorganization to clean the situation up a bit.

"that package" in #12 = ubuntu-desktop
