Trouble installing Rabbit VCS for nautilus

Solution 1:

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!

Solution 2:

The error message is telling you that the packages in the repositories are newer then what RabbitVCS requires, i.e. it can't work with the new Nautilus from Gnome 3

UPDATE: Actually, if you have a look at RabbitVCS site, you'll see that release 0.15 adds support for Nautilus 3.0 - however, the version in Ubuntu repositories is 0.13

The site also contains instructions on how to install the recent version from a tarball.

Solution 3:

Run the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core rabbitvcs-nautilus3 rabbitvcs-thunar rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli
