Things aren't > installed by default if nothing depends on them. but we don't have anything that depends on firefox:german. it can't be firefox itself, or else everyone gets it. it can't be a group-german, or else you'd get it even if you don't have firefox. the only link that i can see is that firefox:german depends on firefox, hence, when i install group-german, it includes firefox:german, but that should only be installed if firefox is already there. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life hackerspace beijing - http://qike.info -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org BLUG secretary beijinglug.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
