I'm not sure this makes sense to keep track of this bug report through the debian-installer package; maybe installation-reports… Anyway, can be trivially reproduced in a minimal jessie chroot with: apt-get install task-xfce-desktop task-gnome-desktop and indeed, toying with gnome-core: apt-get install task-xfce-desktop gnome-core → gnome-core : Depends: evince (>= 3.14) but it is not going to be installed Presumably that's some fun related to the gnome/regular vs. gtk-only versions of evince(-gtk). And indeed gnome-core depends on evince (>= 3.14), while task-xfce-desktop recommends evince-gtk. It looks to me that the latter should recommend evince-gtk | evince instead? I'm happy to take someone else's opinion. Mraw, KiBi.
