Hmm. I think I have seen that kind of thing once, some years ago, but not recently.

Downloading from <https://projects.gnome.org/gedit/> and unpacking and installing, or even compiling and installing the source? Doing something similar with the .deb packages? Or as in using "apt-get install" or synaptic, or what, exactly? apt-get and synaptic should pull in the dependencies unless you tell it not to. If you told it not to install some of the dependencies, you might try doing a re-install. The dependencies for gedit made me wince a bit the first time I pulled it into a relatively pristine XFCE, but when you start pulling in GUI tools, you'll find that a lot of them depend on the gnome libraries. But you're not pulling in the entire desktop, by any means. Synaptic is pretty convenient about that. When you select for install, it will tell you which dependencies it's also pulling in, and then when you tell it to go ahead, it will show the sizes. My memory is that straight apt-get gives you the information and the chance to back out, as well. -- Joel Rees -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
