lignomeui-common_2.20.1-0ubuntu1 won't install

Asked by Suger

When trying to install libgnomeui-common_2.20.1-0ubuntu1 from gutsy-proposed, I get the following error message :

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libgnomeui-common_2.20.1.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb: il n'y a pas de script dans cette nouvelle version du paquet - abandon

rough translation : there is no script in this new version of the package. Failure.

Which makes the package uninstallable (and the update sit perpetually in the update manager). So there seems to be a problem with the package architecture or with my install. What should I do ?

OK, so I'll answer my own question. The version I had installed was libgnomeui_common_2.20.0_0ubuntu1. For some reason, the removal script was trying to do a gconf-schema /usr/share/gconf/schemas/libgnomeui-apport-gtk.schema. The problem is that libgnomeui-apport-gtk.schemas has been removed since libgnomeui-2.19.1-0ubuntu1.

So I downloaded libgnomeui-2.19.0-0ubuntu1, cp'ed libgnomeui-apport-gtk and all went well. Not very clean, but I didn't find any better way
