Package: compiz-gtk
Version: 0.2.2-1
 
After running the latest apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, compiz is missing gtk window decorator.
Investigating further compiz-gtk and compiz-gnome dependencies are broken. In details the upgrade of package libmetacity0 to version 2.18.2-2 has caused the removal of compiz-gtk and compiz-gnome packages.
 
This is what I get if I try to install compiz-gtk:

apt-get -s install compiz-gtk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  compiz-gtk: Depends: libmetacity0 (>= 1:2.14) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 2.6, kernel 2.6.18-4-686 unstable.
 
Best regards

I don't think there is a bug here. The current compiz cannot work with
newer metacity, according to the changelog:
  * Conflict with libmetacity0 (>= 1:2.15.21) because it would currently
make gtk-window-decorator segfault.

Compiz will get big changes soon because of the merge with beryl. And
metacity probably got lots of changes since 2.14 because of its own
compositing support (disabled for now). So I guess the situation will
change in the near future.
