tags 719967 - upstream merge 714803 719967 thanks Just to remember, the current GNOME-NM dependency nightmare is quite trivial:
"network-manager-gnome" recommends "gnome-bluetooth", "gnome-bluetooth" recommends "gnome-control-center", "gnome-control-center" recommends "gnome-session", "gnome-session" recommends "gnome-shell" etc. To deal with it, we should decrease the priority of some package dependency from "Recommends:" to "Suggests:". There is a number of choices: 1) move "gnome-bluetooth" to "Suggests:" for "gnome-control-center"; effects: "gnome-bluetooth" is not automatically pulled by "network-manager-gnome": a) effects on GNOME3 -- none: "gnome-core", "gnome-shell" & "gnome-user-share" packages currently have "gnome-bluetooth" in "Depends:"!; b) effects on any other desktop environment users: they should probably install some Bluetooth manager manually (or maybe desktops like Xfce should recommend "blueman" or whatever, but it doesn't matter now). 2) move "gnome-control-center" to "Suggests:" for "gnome-bluetooth"; not acceptable: gnome-bluetooth uses gnome-control-center for its settings; 3) move "gnome-session" to "Suggests:" for "gnome-control-center"; effects are unknown to me. IMHO, the solution 1) is the most painless one, so I am merging bugs 719967 & 714803... ---- Best wishes, Bob
