Bug#694895: education-tasks: Installs tasksel desc file in obsolete location
Package: education-tasks
Version: 1.700
Severity: grave
The version of education-tasks in Wheezy do not work with the tasksel
version in wheezy. The primary reason is that the task file location
was changed in tasksel version 3.00 (see BTS #694894) from
/usr/share/tasksel/ to /usr/share/tasksel/descs/, and the current
education-tasks package install the file in the now obsolete location.
This caused tasksel to ignore the Debian Edu tasks, and the installation
of Debian Edu fail to install the packages it should. Moving the file
to the descs/ subdirectory solve the problem. To stay compatible with
older tasksel versions, a symlink can be placed in /usr/share/tasksel/,
but it is most likely not needed if a Breaks/Conflicts is added.
The install path is defined in /usr/share/blends-dev/rules from
blends-dev. So I suspect the correct fix is to first fix blends-dev,
and then rebuild debian-edu to get the fixed path.
