Package: gnome-orca
Version: 3.4.2-1
Severity: important

Control: found -1 + 3.12.1-1

Hi,

on a Wheezy system running GNOME, if at-spi2 is not installed, Orca
does not start:

  $ orca --replace

  ** (orca:3826): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

  ** (orca:3826): ERROR **: AT-SPI: COuldn't connect to accessibility bus. Is at-spi-bus-launcher running?
  Trace/breakpoint trap

Installing at-spi2-core fixes this for me. I assume gnome-orca should
depend on at-spi2-core (and maybe at-spi2-core|qt-at-spi, I've no
idea, you'll know better).

On sid, the error message is a bit different, but the symptoms and
cure are the same.

This seems to be a policy violation, so technically bug should
probably be RC. However, I guess that most Orca users will have
gnome-core (which itself depends on at-spi2-core) installed, hence the
non-RC severity.

Still, it would be good to fix this for Jessie :)

Thanks for maintaining Orca in Debian!

Cheers,
