libgnomevfs2-bin is deprecated so I don't think it should be recommended. kdebase-runtime will already be installed if the user is running KDE (since pretty much all KDE apps depend on it), so it doesn't need to be recommended either. Regarding gvfs-bin, yes, there is a problem. But if I were to add it to recommends, it would be automatically installed even for people who don't use Gnome, pulling in a lot of dependencies. That doesn't match the definition of Recommends -- it is, in fact, perfectly reasonable to have xdg-utils installed without gvfs-bin. However, the latest xdg-utils in Debian recommends libfile-mimeinfo-perl, which gives it the ability to determine MIME types and open files using Freedesktop.org standards. Also, gnome-desktop-environment depends on gvfs-bin. So the latest xdg-utils should work in Gnome regardless. Maybe gnome-session should depend/recommend gvfs-bin, though. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
