Description Matt 2015-07-11 05:53:00 UTC

Taskcoach (tried both amd64 stable 1.3.18 and unstable 1.3.40) installs without error, but fails to start with the following message: 

Quote:
OSError: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


It is correct, the file libXss.so.1 (or any file containing 'libXss') is not in my shared libraries in either 32 bit or 64 bit libararies. 

This is the exact error of upstream bug: http://sourceforge.net/p/taskcoach/bugs/1082/ 

It was apparently corrected upstream in taskcoach version release 1.3.4 as we can see at this address: http://www.taskcoach.org/all_changes.html 

So, my nooby conclusion is that there is a dependency missing somewhere in way gentoo compiles taskcoach for me - ie the libXss library.

Request Taskcoach ebuilds be amended so that libXss is pulled in as a dependancy for systems that don't have it and need it.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install package app-office/taskcoach on to a system that does not have the library libXss.so.1
2.Attempt to run taskcoach
3.
Actual Results:  
Taskcoach fails to launch with the error described in the description

Expected Results:  
Taskcoach launches successfully
