Package: gnome-desktop-environment Severity: normal
After the recent upgrade, I found the machine infested with "bluez" and various bluetooth libraries. I believe this is a side-effect of the decision to drag in everything under "Recommends:". In my case, I had a few pieces of an old gnome desktop setup; and I suspect that one of those pieces initiated a cascade of dependencies that caused the bluetooth stuff to be installed automatically. I have cleaned out most of the offending packages. But it seems absurd to me that gnome-desktop-environment *depends* on gnome-bluetooth. You ought to at least check to see whether the necessary hardware is present before installing such stuff. This 10-year-old Pentium III box certainly does not have bluetooth hardware in it. I should add that (believing that computers should be seen and not heard) I have no sound enabled, and no speakers. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-desktop-environment depends on: pn ekiga <none> (no description available) pn esound <none> (no description available) pn evince <none> (no description available) pn evolution <none> (no description available) ii evolution-data-server 2.30.3-2 evolution database backend server pn fast-user-switch-applet <none> (no description available) pn file-roller <none> (no description available) pn gcalctool <none> (no description available) pn gconf-editor <none> (no description available) pn gdm <none> (no description available) ii gnome-about 2.30.2-2 The GNOME about box pn gnome-backgrounds <none> (no description available) pn gnome-core <none> (no description available) pn gnome-games <none> (no description available) pn gnome-keyring-manager <none> (no description available) ii gnome-media 2.30.0-1 GNOME media utilities ii gnome-netstatus-applet 2.28.1-1 Network status applet for GNOME pn gnome-nettool <none> (no description available) ii gnome-system-monitor 2.28.1-1 Process viewer and system resource pn gnome-system-tools <none> (no description available) pn gnome-themes <none> (no description available) ii gnome-user-guide 2.30.1-1 GNOME user's guide pn gnome-utils <none> (no description available) pn gnome-volume-manager <none> (no description available) pn gstreamer0.10-esd <none> (no description available) ii gtk2-engines 1:2.20.1-1 theme engines for GTK+ 2.x pn gucharmap <none> (no description available) ii iceweasel [gnome-www-browser] 3.5.16-4 Web browser based on Firefox pn industrial-cursor-theme <none> (no description available) ii libgnome2-perl 1.042-2 Perl interface to the GNOME librar pn libgnomevfs2-bin <none> (no description available) ii libgnomevfs2-extra 1:2.24.3-1 GNOME Virtual File System (extra m pn nautilus-cd-burner <none> (no description available) pn sound-juicer <none> (no description available) pn totem <none> (no description available) pn vino <none> (no description available) ii zenity 2.30.0-1 Display graphical dialog boxes fro Versions of packages gnome-desktop-environment recommends: pn dasher <none> (no description available) pn fam <none> (no description available) pn gnome-accessibility-themes <none> (no description available) pn gnome-mag <none> (no description available) pn gnopernicus <none> (no description available) pn gok <none> (no description available) Versions of packages gnome-desktop-environment suggests: pn evolution-exchange <none> (no description available) pn gnome-audio <none> (no description available) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
