Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
the upgrade of gnome-shell from version 3.4.2-16 to version 3.8.4-5 forces me
to install gdm. Gnome-shell now depends on gdm.
I don't want to install and use gdm. I'm a single user on my PC and I'm
starting up my machine with the text UI. Later I start the GUI as a user with
"startx".
Now I'm forced to start my PC directly to the gdm GUI. I don't want this at all.
Please make gnome-shell NOT depend on gdm again or tell me how to have gdm
installed but don't use it an start to the test UI.
Regards,
Norbert

Hello!
gnome-shell really does need gdm installed, so the dependency is a requirement
by policy.
If you need assistance on how to configure gdm to not start on system boot,
please contact a support forum.
