Me too. >> Basically because gnome-desktop-environment is too big to fit on CD 1. >> See bug #608098 for more information, especially >> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608098#31. That seems to me an absurd reason. So only 3 of us in the entire Debian world think this way? Re-quoting OP of bug 608098: ,----- | The massive migration of dependencies from | gnome-desktop-environment to gnome-core is extremely undesirable, | because it spoils the usefulness that gnome-core used to have in | pulling just enough packages to have a basic GNOME | environment. Now, instead, it pulls WAY too many packages and | leaves the user without any simple method for installing basic | GNOME components. `----- I still think it make perfect sense, and a legitimated request. > Creating a new package to depend upon evolution and ephiphany and > gnome-core would be a less harmful solution. Yeah, but look at what the maintainer said: ,----- | The gnome-core package is not here to fulfill the needs of a given | user. | | If you need a specific set of packages, please make your metapackages | yourself. `----- well... what I can do, huh?
