Maybe you don't have to install gail at all? What depends on gail? I heard that recent versions of gtk+ integrate gail functionality. So for each package that depends on gail, you could see if a more recent version of that package does not have the gail dependency. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free - Linus Torvalds
