Oh - please ignore the remark about excessive dependencies (I was looking at an older suite). Issue remains that gnome-keyring declares a strict dependency for a situation where in unusual cases alternatives works - which is the purpose of the "Recommends:" hint. Currenly pinentry-gnome cannot be removed from a system which uses gnome-keyring, even though gnome-keyring can work with other implementations of the pinentry-x11 ABI than pinentry-gnome. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
