Ubuntu has packaged a large number of our modules and made them dependencies to Bibletime and Gnomesword.
If someone installes Gnomesword or BT automatic the first Bible module alphabetically satisfying the dependency will be installed to by root and is subsequently not uninstallable via the module manager - unless one goes to contortions like running BT/GS as root or installing anotehr Ubuntu Bible module which satsifies the dependency and only then uninstalling the first one. This was brought up just now on sword-support by a user who could not uninstall the Arabic Bible for which he had little use. I think we had discussed this a while ago and the discussion went inconclusive. Some gthought is was a packaging bug, others thought it was useful as it gave the user a fully working system. People like that user on support convince me further that this is a bug and we should try and get the package maintainer to fix this. IMHO Gnomesowrd and BT should install cleanly and without any modules pre-installed. It is for the module manager to handle the rest. Don't both programmes pop up on first use " You have no modules installed, shall I go and fetch some for you?" It is a long time I run either on a new computer, so I do not know, but maybe mix something up.
