Bug#871618: gnome-terminal: package should depend on dbus-x11

2017-08-11 Thread Mark Hedges
Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. Why isn't X over ssh a supported use case anymore? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. What is the alternative to use graphical programs on a remote machine? Remote desktop? (And how do you do that, anyway?) It seems like it would be really inconvenient

dbus-user-session is installed, so I don't think that's the problem. From /var/log/apt/history.log, it looks like it came through when I installed gnome-terminal, probably through some circuitous dependency if it's not explicitly required. I removed dbus-x11 to test. Now I get a different error

Changing the recommends to depends for dbus-user-session won't fix the immediate problem, unless gnome-terminal is changed to use something other than `dbus-launch` to do whatever it is that it's trying to do. dbus-x11 provides the dbus-launch executable. dbus-user-session does not. Is there a g

Package: gnome-terminal Version: 3.22.2-1 Severity: important Tried to install gnome-terminal by itself on a system without the tasksel window system tasks run. It wouldn't launch until I manually installed the dbus-x11 package. Looks like the control file needs this dependency. hedges@bar:~$
