Package: mate-desktop-environment Severity: normal With the default instalation of mate desktop using tasksel (package `task-mate-desktop`) the package `gvfs-fuse` does not install. `gvfs-fuse` is needed to access the filesystems mounted with gio from the console. As an example, when a user mounts a samba shared folder using `gio mount`, the package is needed to access the files from the console (accessing to `/run/user/$UID/gvfs`).
The calculation of the reverse dependencies for `gvfs-fuse` (`apt-cache rdepends gvfs-fuse`) shown that the majority of desktops installs it (with the exception of kde and lxde): * gnome-core: depends * pcmanfm-qt: recommends (pcmanfm-qt is a dependency of lxqt-core) * pcmanfm: recommends (pcmanfm is a dependency of lxde-core) * nemo: recommends (nemo is a dependency of cinnamon-core) * cinnamon-core: recommends Why i think that the recommends dependency need to be added to the package mate-desktop-environment instead of mate-desktop-environment-core? According to the description of the packages, the package mate-desktop-environment *recommends* the standard set of applications of the mate desktop meanwhile the package mate-desktop-environment-core *depends* on a very basic set of programs in order to start the desktop session.
