So I don't need to file MIR bugs for packages I mentioned as you are aware of this? > main refers to packages that get constant support libnspr4-0d simply > doesnt get this.

For, "make ubuntu usable when universe is disabled", I think *-ugly and others may be essential part of desktop experience; the OS should able to play media files using popular codec. The reason I try Ubuntu with universe disabled is that universe is not a effective way of getting quality software. Packages are generally outdated and may contain unwanted changes. I'm interested in: 1. Is it possible to use an alternative package manager like Homebrew [1] on Mac OS X 2. Is it possible to use bundled GUI apps without worrying about dependency issues. 1. http://brew.sh/ -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
