Description Reinout van Schouwen 2012-03-11 23:16:35 CET 
I installed tomboy-1.9.9-1 from Cauldron.

When I try to run it, Tomboy gives the following exception:

$ tomboy
[INFO 23:14:18.802] Initializing Mono.Addins
[WARN 23:14:19.013] No GUI 'su' tool found

Comment 1 Reinout van Schouwen 2012-03-11 23:22:23 CET 
Solved the problem by installing lib64gmime-devel which contains the missing libgmime-2.6.so.

Having to install a -devel package to run a regular app somehow doesn't feel right!

Comment 2 Barry Jackson 2012-03-12 00:42:48 CET 
Is there some compelling reason that we still have tomboy when gnote is packaged?
gnote is a c++ port/fork of tomboy with no require on mono and it's faster. 

Notes are compatible, GUI is identical and I currently have no issues with gnote.
When I have found bugs in the past, upstream have been fast to react.

Just curious as I don't see the point in distributing both.

Comment 3 Reinout van Schouwen 2012-03-12 13:09:17 CET 
If duplication of functionality should decide whether or not to package a certain program, we might as well cut the distro size in half... and call ourselves Mubuntu.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Comment 5 Reinout van Schouwen 2012-05-28 23:49:38 CEST 
The library appears to be provided now by lib64gmime2.6_0.
Still, I think there's a requirement missing for Tomboy:

$ urpmq --whatrequires lib64gmime2.6_0
gmime-sharp
grilo-plugins
lib64gmime-devel
lib64gmime2.6_0
lib64totem-plparser17
mail-notification
pan
pinot

New bug?
