Bug Description

Jaunty 9.04 beta

I successfully removed totem in Jaunty beta using:

sudo apt-get remove totem totem-common totem-gstreamer totem-mozilla totem-plugins

Because I wanted to use VLC instead. When I tried to view the properties of a video file (A .mkv to be exact), I received an error:

Couldn't load the '/usr/share/totem/properties.ui' interface. Failed to open file '/usr/share/totem/properties.ui': No such file or directory

It appears that it uses totem to create a properties dialog of the selected video, but perhaps if the properties dialog relies on the '/usr/share/totem/properties.ui,' perhaps the totem should be marked as a dependency of nautilus.

I did restart nautilus after removing totem completely, that did not help the problem.

I did, however, restart my session (I restarted my laptop, anyway), and did not have this error since.

The bug happen also under 12.04.

Remove all totem packages, especially totem-common, then restart the computer and display the properties from a video file. There is an error message :

Couldn't load the '/usr/share/totem/properties.ui' interface. Failed to open file '/usr/share/totem/properties.ui': No such file or directory

If totem is removed this cannot be a totem bug, I think much more a dpkg bug, reassigning
