Hi Michael, the current situation of network-manager-gnome is, that it depends on so many different gnome packages, that it basicly pulls all of gnome it is installed via apt-get: 185 packages (328 MB) was the count for me today, when i did it, and for me all these packages are just junk which clutters my disks. I just don't want libgweather-common to be installed. I want to manage my network connections and have no intentions to look, how the weather is in Timbuktu. I'm pretty sure that most of the dependencies are unnecessary for it to work and could be removed or network-manager-gnome even made as stand-alone as possible. I and I think many others would appreciate that, because I want just nm-applet and not all of gnome on my systems. Best Sam signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I don't see any connection between network-manager-gnome and libgweather-common. Me, neither, and i don't know, why it was a pulled as extra package, which need to be installed. I guess, some other package, which network-manager-gnome (n.m.g) depends on, causes this. For clarification, here is the list of packages, which was pulled on my system where i didn't had gnome installed: http://paste.debian.net/17138/ You see, due to dependencies of dependencies there is a lot of stuffed being pulled, and I am not really sure, why this happens. Could be, that it is my fault, and I don't want to blame any of you maintainers, but still this is rather frustrating. I guess, you agree, that this is unexpected behavior. Do you have any ideas, what caused this and how to fix it? Perhaps this must be fixed upstream, by making n.m.g less defended on gnome libraries.

As for the other dependencies: you need to be more specific, otherwise I can't really comment on that in a useful way. E.g. gnome-keyring is not really an optional component, as almost every connection needs to store a secret and nm-applet would be useless without. For gnome-bluetooth the situation is this: once there is a framework which automatically prompts the users to install that package when bluetooth hardware is detected, I'm happy to downgrade that to a suggests. And then I don't see anything GNOME related anymore in the package dependencies.
