That's the package maintainer seeing 'FvwmGTK' and panicking. For some reason, he doesn't think reading the documentation is a prerequisite to packaging FVWM. Before he split the packages into fvwm and fvwm-gnome, fvwm would depend on all of that GNOME stuff. I've complained about it before, to no avail. My advice to you? Ditch the fvwm package from the repositories. Download the FVWM source, compile it, and run: make deb-inplace You'll feel much better for it. Install the package. Then just put the resultant package on hold: echo "fvwm hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections -- Thomas Adam -- I've been too honest with myself, I should have lied like everybody else.
