Hi, after the last update in F26 my wallpaper disappeared. Indeed all of them, but the default one were gone from /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome. When I investigated why, I found out that the default set of wallpapers was plit into gnome-backgrounds and gnome-backgrounds-extras. gnome- backgrounds now only include the default wallpaper, everything else is in *-extras.
First I have no idea why this change was made. Can anyone explain it to me?
Second it brings two problems:
- until gnome-backgrounds-extras is added to the list of pre-installed
packages we will only have two wallpapers pre-installed (GNOME default, Fedora default), that's kinda too few.
gnome-backgrounds and gnome-backgrounds-extra should have Obsoletes: gnome-backgrounds < 3.24.0-1
- the transition is not handled very well, wallpapers are removed from
gnome-backgrounds, but gnome-backgrounds-extras don't get installed. So many users lose wallpapers they've set and end up with a blank desktop wondering what has happened.
gnome-backgrounds should have Recommends: gnome-backgrounds-extra = %{version}-%{release}
Um, those recommendations seem to be the wrong way around, if anything? Your *first* suggestion would fix problem #2: adding those obsoletes would cause both packages to be installed on update of an existing system with the old, 'combined' gnome-backgrounds. Your *second* suggestion is not also necessary to solve problem #2...
