requires python-mako

LOL. Since when is satisfying packaging dependencies a "wish"? The bottom line is that rhythmbox('s context pane) is broken without python-mako and it even complains so on the stdout/stderr.

I guess if having working packages is (only) a wish, this is a wishlist item, but at that rate, then i guess the entire of Ubuntu Linux being a functional distribution becomes a wishlist item then doesn't it? So with that being the benchmark, isn't pretty much every bug filed against Ubuntu Linux a wishlist item?

FWIW: In the amount of time it took to triage this bug and make it a wishlist, you probably could have added the single "python-mako" to the Depends of rhythmbox and been done with it. That's all I did here in my (re-)build.

Thank you for your bug report, ti's not as easy as adding a depends though since the component is in universe right now so somebody needs to write a promotion request, the security team and the mir team need to review it, etc

Installing python-mako works for me.

This bug was fixed in the package rhythmbox - 0.12.6-1ubuntu9

---------------
rhythmbox (0.12.6-1ubuntu9) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - only recommends python-webkit and python-mako since those are not
      strictly required
    - recommends the cdrecord option rather than suggests, that's something
      users probably expect to see working on the default installation
  * debian/rules:
    - updated with some of the debian changes
  * Backported Debian change
  * Split plugins in a separate rhythmbox-plugins package, plus another
    one for the coherence plugin and one for the cdrecorder plugin.
    Mostly based on a patch by Yves-Alexis Perez. Closes: #566711. (lp: #160592)
  * rhythmbox-plugins depends on python-webkit and python-mako.
    Closes: #558203. (lp: #498816)
