aspcud is not suitable as a default solver. It is far too slow and ignores some aspects people are accustomed to, like a Depends: a | b installing a whenever possible. Same for all other CUDF solvers. > > On Sonntag, 19.

Something strange is going on there. If I do the same on my system which has its own GNOME meta packages currently, I get: The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: gnome-packagekit-data Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it. The following extra packages will be installed: acpi-fakekey acpi-support acpi-support-base acpid cgmanager ethtool libcgmanager0 libck-connector0 libnih-dbus1 libnih1 libpam-ck-connector pm-utils systemd-shim Suggested packages: radeontool consolekit The following packages will be REMOVED: gnome-packagekit gnome-packagekit-session gnome-session-flashback systemd-sysv The following NEW packages will be installed: acpi-fakekey acpi-support acpi-support-base acpid cgmanager ethtool libcgmanager0 libck-connector0 libnih-dbus1 libnih1 libpam-ck-connector pm-utils systemd-shim sysvinit-core 0 upgraded, 14 newly installed, 4 to remove and 102 not upgraded. Although none of gnome-packagekit gnome-packagekit-session gnome-session-flashback need to be removed. I thus believe gnome gets removed because it depends on gnome-packagekit which APT somehow thinks it has to remove. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
