Hi John, thank you for sending me the e-mail directly, not only I forgot
to subscribe but I also forgot about this report. I'm so sorry.
I found a workaround to the problem by chance and I've been happily
using the mate dock since then. It turns out installing
'system-config-printer' solves the issue. So I guess one of the
following dependencies of system-config-printer is also a missing
dependency for 'mate-dock-applet':
ii gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 2.38.0+dfsg-7
ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.58.3-2
ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.24.3-1
ii gir1.2-notify-0.7 0.7.7-4
ii gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0 1.1.12-1
ii gir1.2-pango-1.0 1.42.4-6
ii gir1.2-polkit-1.0 0.105-25
ii python3 3.7.2-1
ii python3-cups 1.9.73-2+b1
ii python3-cupshelpers 1.5.11-4
ii python3-dbus 1.2.8-2+b3
ii python3-gi 3.30.4-1
ii system-config-printer-common 1.5.11-4
I suspect it is 'gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0' but I'll leave this to the
maintainers.

I know it is high, but I believe the severity was correctly set as per
[1]. Whatever the problem is, it "makes the package in question
unusable".

I'd be happy to provide any feedback to debug this. Running 'mate-panel'
on the command line however does nothing (which was expected I guess).
$ mate-panel
Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.
How can I create a new panel from the command line?
Thanks a lot,
