[Bug 463128] [NEW] btnx doesn't work. unresolved dependencies.

[michaelcole]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: btnx

Hi, I wanted something to configure my extra mouse buttons.

Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center
Search for "Mouse button"
btnx looked interesting, so I installed it.
Applications -> System Tools -> btnx -> Error Dialog: 
  Error: no keycode file
  btnx-config needs the file /etc/btnx/events to run.  Make sure you have installed btnx first, and that the file exists.

At their website: http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ there are two
packages.  I'm guessing ubuntu has just packaged btnx-config

$ sudo aptitude install btnx
Setting up btnx (0.4.11-2ubuntu1) ...
Starting btnx : Button Extension - mouse button rerouter daemon
 btnx: uinput modprobed successfully.
 btnx: Could not read the config manager file: No such file or directory
Segmentation fault
btnx failed to start (error code 139) - try btnx-config

Application -> System Tools -> btnx

This tool isn't n00b friendly, but I got it to work.  Crazy confusing
detection steps.  Had to restart server to save new keys.

Got it to work though.  How Ubuntu got it's buttons back :-)

At a minimum, a packaging and dependency error.
