The previous version I released fails to start with a RuntimeError.
Please try the new version. It is now tested on both my machines and
works on both.
Changes:
gnome-app-install (0.2.15-2) experimental; urgency=low
.
* bug-fix release:
- fixed datadir defined in /usr/bin/gnome-app-install so that the
app will run on PCs other than mine
- added new Recommends: yelp (Gnome help)
