That's what I don't understand. Why remove the package if it's only a problem with some desktops? https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland Unsupported Desktop environments: Cinnamon: discussed MATE: planned, source (2014) XFCE: planned Can't [whatever installs the software] notice that Gnome is installed/selected & not install synaptic? Or patch synaptic to realize it's running under Gnome & spit out an error message and quit? Everybody pays the price because it doesn't work with Gnome seems a bit much. Lee
