Package: gnome Version: 1:42+8 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
as it can be seen at https://apps.gnome.org/, Rhythmbox is not listed among GNOME recommended applications. In fact, it sees only minor changes and it overlaps in functionality with gnome-music, which is also a direct dependency. I propose to either: * Move rhythmbox-plugins and rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder as "recommends" of rhythmbox itself, and have the gnome package depend on "gnome-music | rhythmbox" instead. or: * Simply demote rhythmbox as a suggested package. It puzzles users to have two different music players (one of which very old looking too). PS. Incidentally, it is a bit unclear to me how the gnome-core package is put together. Isn't that meant to contain also GNOME core applications, such as gnome-music, gnome-maps, gnome-weather, gnome-clocks... which the GNOME developers consider part of the basic user experience? -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnome depends on: ii avahi-daemon 0.8-6+b1 ii cheese 43.0-1 ii cups-pk-helper 0.2.6-1+b1 ii desktop-base 12.0.2 ii evolution 3.46.2-1 ii evolution-plugins 3.46.2-1 ii file-roller 43.0-1 ii gnome-calendar 43.1-1 ii gnome-clocks 43.0-1 ii gnome-color-manager 3.36.0-1+b1 ii gnome-core 1:42+8 ii gnome-maps 43.2-1 ii gnome-music 42.1-1 ii gnome-sound-recorder 43~beta-1 ii gnome-tweaks 42~beta-3 ii gnome-weather 43.0-1 ii gstreamer1.0-libav 1.20.3-1+b1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly 1.20.3-1 ii libgsf-bin 1.14.50-1 ii libproxy1-plugin-networkmanager 0.4.18-1 ii libreoffice-calc 1:7.4.4~rc2-2 ii libreoffice-gnome 1:7.4.4~rc2-2 ii libreoffice-impress 1:7.4.4~rc2-2 ii libreoffice-writer 1:7.4.4~rc2-2 ii network-manager-gnome 1.30.0-2 ii orca 43.0-1 ii rhythmbox 3.4.6-2 ii rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder 3.4.6-2 ii rhythmbox-plugins 3.4.6-2 ii rygel-playbin 0.42.0-2 ii rygel-tracker 0.42.0-2 ii seahorse 43.0-1 ii shotwell 0.30.17-1 ii simple-scan 42.5-2 ii totem-plugins 43.0-2 ii xdg-user-dirs-gtk 0.11-1 Versions of packages gnome recommends: pn gnome-games <none> ii gnome-initial-setup 43.2-1 ii gnome-remote-desktop 43.2-1 ii transmission-gtk 3.00-2.1+b1 Versions of packages gnome suggests: ii alacarte 3.44.2-1 pn empathy <none> pn firefox-esr-l10n-all | firefox-l10n-all <none> ii goobox 3.6.0-9 pn polari <none> ii vinagre 3.22.0-8.1 pn webext-ublock-origin <none> Versions of packages gnome-core depends on: ii adwaita-icon-theme 43-1 ii at-spi2-core 2.46.0-4 ii baobab 43.0-1 ii dconf-cli 0.40.0-4 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.40.0-4 ii eog 43.1-1 ii evince 43.1-2 ii evolution-data-server 3.46.2-1 ii fonts-cantarell 0.303.1-1 ii gdm3 43.0-1 ii gkbd-capplet 3.28.1-1 ii glib-networking 2.74.0-2 ii gnome-backgrounds 43-1 ii gnome-bluetooth-sendto 42.5-1 ii gnome-calculator 1:43.0.1-1 ii gnome-characters 43.1-1 ii gnome-contacts 43.0-1 ii gnome-control-center 1:43.2-1 ii gnome-disk-utility 43.0-1 ii gnome-font-viewer 43.0-1 ii gnome-keyring 42.1-1+b1 ii gnome-logs 43.0-1 ii gnome-menus 3.36.0-1 ii gnome-online-accounts 3.46.0-1 ii gnome-session 43.0-1 ii gnome-settings-daemon 43.0-3 ii gnome-shell 43.1-2 ii gnome-shell-extensions 43.1-1 ii gnome-software 43.2-3 ii gnome-sushi 43.0-2 ii gnome-system-monitor 42.0-2 ii gnome-terminal 3.46.7-1 ii gnome-text-editor 43.1-2+b1 ii gnome-themes-extra 3.28-2 ii gnome-user-docs 43.0-1 ii gnome-user-share 43.0-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 43.0-1 ii gstreamer1.0-packagekit 1.2.6-2 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.20.4-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.20.3-1+b1 ii gvfs-backends 1.50.2-2 ii gvfs-fuse 1.50.2-2 ii libatk-adaptor 2.46.0-4 ii libcanberra-pulse 0.30-10 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.74.4-1 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 42.1-1+b1 ii libproxy1-plugin-gsettings 0.4.18-1 ii libproxy1-plugin-webkit 0.4.18-1 ii librsvg2-common 2.54.5+dfsg-1 ii libspa-0.2-bluetooth 0.3.63-1+b1 ii nautilus 43.1-1 ii pipewire-pulse 0.3.63-1+b1 ii sound-theme-freedesktop 0.8-2 ii system-config-printer-common 1.5.18-1 ii system-config-printer-udev 1.5.18-1 ii totem 43.0-2 ii tracker 3.4.2-1 ii wireplumber 0.4.13-1 ii xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 43.1-2 ii yelp 42.2-1 ii zenity 3.43.0-1 Versions of packages gnome-core recommends: ii epiphany-browser [gnome-www-browser] 43.0-2 ii firefox [gnome-www-browser] 108.0-2 ii libproxy1-plugin-networkmanager 0.4.18-1 ii network-manager-gnome 1.30.0-2 gnome-core suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
