Can you post the output of this command? (Make sure you press 'N' to cancel installation if the packages are still unacceptable to you): sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends nautilus
Note that Synaptic has a setting to not pull 'Recommends' packages by default (the equivalent of the --no-install-recommends argument passed to apt in the command above). While I personally prefer modularity, integrating apps (like brasero in nautilus) seems to be all the rage among bigger desktops (KDE/Gnome) right now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1096283 Title: Installing Nautilus in Xubuntu 12.10 pulls in Redundant Packages as Dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1096283/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
