Alexander, I *think* you are saying the following 2 things: "it is not a hard depend" - one can install firefox in kubuntu 8.10 using adept without installing gnome files? If true, this is not obvious to me. Selecting Firefox Web Browser (3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2) in adept on a clean install of Kubuntu 8.10 forces the following files to be selected for install:
gnome-keyring liblaunchpad-integration1 libglib-perl python-gst0.10 notification-deamon libgnomevfs2-0 libgnome2-0 gamin libgtop2-common libgnomeui-common libgnome-keyring0 ubufox xulrunner-1.9 scrollkeeper docbook-xml libpam-gnome-keyring python-numeric liubbonoboui2-0 gconf2 libwnck-common libgnome2-perl python-pyorbit libnotify1 python-gconf libgamin0 python-gtkhtml2 libwnck22 libsexy2 libgconf2-4 libxres1 libgp11-0 libgnome2-common libstartup-notification0 libgnome2-vfs-perl libgnomecanvas2-0 python-glade2 libpolkit-gnome0 python-sexy python-vte libvte9 libgnomeui-0 libgtk2-perl libidl0 libbonobo2-0 libglade2-0 gnome-app-install apturl libgtkhtml2-0 libgnomecanvas2-common python-launchpad-integration firefox-3.0 libgnomevfs2-extra software-properties-gtk libgtop2-7 synaptic gksu gnome-icon-theme gnome-mime-data liborbit2 policykit-gnome libbonobo2-common libgksu2-0 sgml-data libavahi-glib1 libcairo-perl firefox-3.0-branding gnome-mount libvte-common libscrollkeeper0 librsvg2-common python-gtk2 python-cairo libgnome2-canvas-perl libgnomevfs-2-common "kde users proibably don't want to install it" - Meaning firefox? Firefox is far and away the most popular web browser for linux users. While konquerer is a good web browser, there are many of us who wish to use firefox and we should not have to install gnome to get it. -- firefox 3.03 in kubuntu 8.10 requires gnome apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
