Actually it does make perfect sense if you want all the codecs, and insist on using multimedia software that depends on gstreamer's stuff! Odds are you'll need all those codecs if you want a beginner-friendly pointy-clicky multimedia setup anyeay, so just install them already. It takes a good deal of experience to independently decide what you do and don't need, that's why dependency handling is done by your package manager by default rather than by you. ;) -- ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ Indulekha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
