[Bug 858697] Re: daily cron script complains about packages not being installed

[François Marier]

So it looks like nobody bothered to update the package for Precise :(

I've just taken the package from Debian unstable and merged in the
Ubuntu hacks. It's in my PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~fmarier/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=precise

It seems to work fine.

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  1)installed as  Xubuntu Oneiric Beta 1 amd64. Up to date.
  2) 1.53ubuntu1
  3) I expect that my daily cron does not have problems 
  4) Happened this:
  /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest:
  Package `bcompare' is not installed.
  Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
  and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
  Package `skype' is not installed.
  Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
  and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

  I have them both installed in i386 architecture if that helps.
