Public bug reported: The change in gamin's shlibs to generate dependencies on libfam0 for linkage against libfam causes fam to be pulled into main due to (at least) a dependency from libgnomevfs2-0 (http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/anastacia.txt). I don't believe we really want this; gamin is sufficient for nearly everything with a few exceptions and we've had fam in universe since hoary. I tried working around this by adding libgamin0 to the desktop seed, but that isn't enough because libfam0 is still pulled in via the build-dependency tree and there's no sensible seed workaround that would avoid that.
Would it be possible for gamin's shlibs to say libgamin0 | libfam0 instead for linkage against libfam? After a gnome-vfs2 rebuild, that would make sure we ended up with libgamin0 by default. ** Affects: gamin (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- new shlibs dependency on libfam0 causes fam to be pulled into main https://launchpad.net/bugs/53072 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
