Report only. I don't have spare time to troubleshoot.

Upgrade version installed

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy advert-block-antix
advert-block-antix:
  Installed: 0.2.7
  Candidate: 0.2.7
  ...

Primary Breakage
After installing the upgrade, the launcher in the antiX Control Center no longer launches the app.

Possible cause

Code: Select all

which block-advert.sh
returns no output. Has the executable removed the script?



Secondary Breakage
/usr/share/applications/antix/advert-block.desktop
The change to use the line OnlyShowIn=XFCE instead of NoDisplay=True
will permanently hide the entry in every case other than when the user manually installs XFCE and uses it.
In all cases of the shipped WMs in antiX (and/or any other that the user chooses to install) adopting this change will mean that Menu Manager will no longer be able to show and hide this entry.

For this particular item, the user will be required to adopt the former method of managing the menu entry i.e. manually locating and editing the corresponding .desktop file and then conducting the appropriate menu refresh/rebuild command.

Whoops. New upload will revert back to previous working version. Sorry about that.
