Bug Description

Binary package hint: googleearth-package

Using the make-googleearth-package command with the new Googleearth 6 results in a .deb that will install but will not run.

Various blog posts have determined that the solution is to install the lsb-core package, so this should probably be included in this package as a dependency now so users get a .deb that actually works.

Thanks, I have just downloaded and installed it on my 10.04 system from this location (for anyone else who wants the fixed package):

http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/googleearth-package

I notice that I no longer have to use the "--force" option on my 64-bit system.
