Package: gnome Version: 1:3.8+8 Severity: wishlist This came up at a DebConf discussion around gnupg2. Right now gnupg-agent (required by newer gnupg versions) needs a pinentry program (basically a program that prompts for a PIN or password). Right now it depends on pinentry-gtk2, which gives a good experience for users with a desktop environment but pulls in a lot of dependencies for a non-graphical system.
So we would like to switch to pinentry-curses instead to lighten the dependency load, but we'd also not like to regress the experience for users of graphical desktops. So if it was added to the task package then those users would get the better experience and we could move the default depedency to pinentry-curses. I suspect Recommends would also be a strong enough dependency relationship for this purpose. Thanks for your consideration. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome depends on: ii aisleriot 1:3.14.0-1 ii alacarte 3.11.91-1 ii avahi-daemon 0.6.31-4 ii cheese 3.14.0-1 ii cups-pk-helper 0.2.5-2 ii desktop-base 7.0.3 ii evolution 3.12.6-1 ii evolution-plugins 3.12.6-1 ii file-roller 3.14.0-1 ii gedit 3.14.0-2 ii gedit-plugins 3.14.0-1 ii gimp 2.8.14-1 ii gnome-color-manager 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-core 1:3.8+8 ii gnome-documents 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-games 1:3.8+8 ii gnome-media 3.4.0-2 ii gnome-nettool 3.8.1-1 ii gnome-orca 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-shell-extensions 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-tweak-tool 3.14.0-1 ii gnumeric 1.12.18-1 ii gstreamer1.0-libav 1.4.3-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly 1.4.3-1 ii hamster-applet 2.91.3+git20120514.b9fec3e1-1 ii inkscape 0.48.5-3 ii libgtk2-perl 2:1.2492-3 ii libreoffice-gnome 1:4.3.2-2 ii libreoffice-impress 1:4.3.2-2 ii libreoffice-writer 1:4.3.2-2 ii nautilus-sendto 3.8.2-1 ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.10.0-2 ii rhythmbox 3.1-1 ii rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder 3.1-1 ii rhythmbox-plugins 3.1-1 ii rygel 0.24.0-1 ii rygel-playbin 0.24.0-1 ii rygel-preferences 0.24.0-1 ii rygel-tracker 0.24.0-1 ii seahorse 3.14.0-1 ii shotwell 0.20.0-1 ii simple-scan 3.14.0-1 ii sound-juicer 3.14.0-1 ii telepathy-gabble 0.18.3-1 ii telepathy-rakia 0.8.0-3 ii telepathy-salut 0.8.1-4 ii tomboy 1.14.1-3 ii totem 3.14.0-2 ii totem-plugins 3.14.0-2 ii tracker-gui 1.2.2-1 ii transmission-gtk 2.84-0.1+b1 ii vinagre 3.14.0-1 ii xdg-user-dirs-gtk 0.10-1 Versions of packages gnome recommends: ii browser-plugin-gnash 0.8.11~git20140708-3+b1 ii gdebi 0.9.5.5 ii telepathy-idle 0.2.0-2 Versions of packages gnome suggests: pn dia-gnome <none> pn gnome-boxes <none> ii gnucash 1:2.6.4-1 ii iceweasel-l10n-all 1:31.1.0esr-1 pn libreoffice-evolution <none> pn planner <none> ii xul-ext-adblock-plus 2.6.4+dfsg-1 pn xul-ext-gnome-keyring <none> Versions of packages gnome-core depends on: ii at-spi2-core 2.12.0-2 ii baobab 3.14.0-1 ii brasero 3.11.4-1 ii caribou 0.4.15-1 ii caribou-antler 0.4.15-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.22.0-1 ii dconf-tools 0.22.0-1 ii empathy 3.12.6-1 ii eog 3.14.0-1 ii evince 3.14.0-2 ii evolution-data-server 3.12.6-1.1 ii fonts-cantarell 0.0.16-1 ii gconf2 3.2.6-3 ii gdm3 3.14.0-1 ii gkbd-capplet 3.6.0-1 ii glib-networking 2.42.0-1 ii gnome-backgrounds 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-bluetooth 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-calculator 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-contacts 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-control-center 1:3.14.0-1 ii gnome-dictionary 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-disk-utility 3.12.1-1+b1 ii gnome-font-viewer 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-extras 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-keyring 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-menus 3.13.3-2 ii gnome-online-accounts 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-packagekit 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-screenshot 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-search-tool 3.6.0-1 ii gnome-session 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-shell 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-sushi 3.12.0-2 ii gnome-system-log 3.9.90-2 ii gnome-system-monitor 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-terminal 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-themes-standard 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-user-guide 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-user-share 3.14.0-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.14.0-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.4.3-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.4.3-1 ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio 1.4.3-1 ii gtk2-engines 1:2.20.2-3 ii gucharmap 1:3.14.0-1 ii gvfs-backends 1.22.0-1+b1 ii gvfs-bin 1.22.0-1+b1 ii gvfs-fuse 1.22.0-1+b1 ii iceweasel 31.1.0esr-1 ii libatk-adaptor 2.12.1-1+b1 ii libcanberra-pulse 0.30-2.1 ii libcaribou-gtk-module 0.4.15-1 ii libcaribou-gtk3-module 0.4.15-1 ii libgtk-3-common 3.14.1-1 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.14.0-1 ii metacity 1:3.12.0-2 ii mousetweaks 3.12.0-1 ii nautilus 3.14.0-1 ii notification-daemon 0.7.6-1 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 ii pulseaudio 5.0-6+b1 ii sound-theme-freedesktop 0.8-1 ii tracker-gui 1.2.2-1 ii vino 3.14.0-2 ii yelp 3.14.0-1 ii zenity 3.14.0-1 Versions of packages gnome-core recommends: ii anacron 2.3-22 ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.10.0-2 gnome-core suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
