So if Muffin is breaking this automatic dependency tracking, then IMO the bug is in Muffin. It (upstream/ package) should properly rename things as not to cause bugs in GNOME packages. Even if upstream doesn't do that, a muffin package should not provide something which conflicts with mutter. That automatic provides should be removed in Muffin IMO. The import of Cinnamon caused a very big QA issue in GNOME. I don't like that. Cinnamon came after GNOME, so the extra work to support Cinnamon should be limited to Cinnamon packages, not GNOME ones. -- Regards, Olav
