Re: Removing evolution but leave gnome intact?
kei...@strucktower.com (kei...@strucktower.com on 2011-11-10 19:24 -0800): I realize it is not necessary, but if possible I'd like to remove evolution. This is what I have tried so far: # aptitude unmarkauto gnome-control-center evolution-data-server # aptitude unmarkauto libedataserverui1.2-11 capplets-data # aptitude unmarkauto evolution-data-server-common # aptitude unmarkauto gnome-session gnome-panel gnome-applets # aptitude -s -R remove --purge evolution-data-server / evolution-data-server-common libedataserverui1.2-11 / gnome-control-center: gnome-panel: gnome-applets: gnome-session: You cannot remove the data server or evolution libraries, they are tied into the gnome-panel's clock function. If they had 90% market share, they would be facing antitrust probes over it ;) You might be able to fake its presence by using equivs, but there's no telling whether that will break gnome-panel. Apart from that, removing the evolution binary is as far as you can go... Regards, Arno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Much better than evolution in my book, but, to the problem: I'm horrendously lazy like this. I'd simply remove evolution and then let a handy little app like deborphan take care of the rest over the next couple of update/upgrades. All necessary dependencies are kept, nothing disrupted and you don't need to think, which is the best part. Gnome is much better than it was. I can remember all sorts of apps that I would never need getting pulled in on a Gnome install. Now, not quite so much, but still a cludge as previously mentioned. Try that anyhow.
