Yes. The name of a package is "gambas2" followed by the name of the component, 
the points being replaced by dashes.

So: gb.db.sqlite3 => gambas2-gb-db-sqlite3.

Without following that scheme, the IDE packager cannot work. The names must 
match between the IDE and the package repository!

And, for once, everything is clearly documented at 
http://gambasdoc.org/help/howto/package for packagers with a link on the wiki 
main page. So I don't know why the Ubuntu packager made that mistake. Gambas 
Ubuntu packages have never been correct until now, and you or another Ubuntu 
user must report the bug.

<troll>
Maybe it is more important for us to move the Metacity window close button 
between each version and make that an important feature. :-)
