That was me in r70 of the debian-desktop SVN; I failed to document the cleanup of the browser I made. Here's how it went: - we discussed Recommends versus Depends on librsvg2-common with Joey Hess since Recommends are not pulled by tasksel, so either you have to list the package you want pulled in by default in the task, or you depend on it; Joey Hess correctly suggested we depend on it (<http://lists.debian.org/debian-desktop/2007/01/threads.html#00078>) - I went to do the switch to Depends from Recommends and noticed weird Recommends on browsers like you see above; these are in since forever (since the initial import to SVN), and they are weird because desktop-base is supposedly a data package - I decided to remove these since I knew we spent some time fixing the default browser situation in tasksel + meta-gnome2, and this seemed like a superfluous place to hardcode the browser dependency again and since the package had no HTML, or use of a browser - I failed to document the removal of the (IMO bogus) recommends on browsers above -- but I mentionned the rsvg dep So, sorry for missing that part; I think this removes potentially dangerous recommends on browsers which should be pulled in the desktop's meta packages instead, and not by the desktop-base meta-package. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
