Rabbit VCS – Trouble Installing Rabbit VCS for Nautilus on Ubuntu 11.10

11.10nautilusrabbitvcssvn

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and following instructions mentioned here to install Rabbit VCS.

I added the PPA properly, did a sudo apt-get update and ran

sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core rabbitvcs-nautilus rabbitvcs-thunar rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli

There were dependency issues and I googled a bit and found out that I need to install RabbitVCS only for nautilus as that is the default file manager for Ubuntu.

So I ran the install commands separately for rabbitvcs-core, rabbitvcs-gedit and rabbitvcs-cli.
Now my understanding is that those are installed properly.

However when I run the install command for rabbitvcs-nautilus, I still get a dependency issue.

ranhiru@ranhiru-HP-HDX16-NoteBook-PC:~$ sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-nautilus

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 rabbitvcs-nautilus : Depends: nautilus (< 1:3.0~) but 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
                      Depends: python-nautilus (< 1.0~) but 1.0-0ubuntu2 is to be installed

How do I solve this?

If you've used the PPA (ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa) and want to install the version that supports GNOME3/Nautilus 3, install "rabbitvcs-nautilus3" instead of "rabbitvcs-nautilus".

Well, that fixes the installation issues. However, for me it still doesn't show up on right click.

Edit: after upgrading to the latest Nautilus from the Ubuntu 11.10 proposed repository, the right click menu finally works!
