As far as getting a good work-around until this bug is resolved, yes, it does :) "our metapackages dont work that way, i doubt we can do it anyway" ??? AFAIK, any debian package can have "or" requirements; consider apache2 which according to Synaptic: Depends: apache2-mpm-worker (=2.0.55-4) | apache2-mpm-prefork (= 2.0.55-4) | apache2-mpm-perchild (= 2.0.55-4) "note also that xscreensaver was sceduled to be demoted to universe and in fact is only in main as a xubuntu dependency" Well, its nice and convenient that it hasn't been demoted yet, so that the change to ubuntu-desktop can be made ;) Also might I suggest that xscreensaver shouldn't be demoted until after this bug is fixed :) I will file a bug on ubuntu-desktop momentarily. -- no 'Settings' button in gnome-screensaver https://launchpad.net/bugs/22007 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
