Hi, libgnome, gnomevfs and gconf have long been deprecated and replaced upstream by GTK+, GIO/GVFS and dconf. On a typical stretch desktop/GNOME installation, openjdk-8-jre (*) seems to be the only remaining package which pulls in those old libraries via Recommends: libgnome-2-0, libgnomevfs2-0, libgconf2-4 We don't want those old libraries installed by default though. Which functionality of openjdk is still relying on those libraries? Please consider demoting this to Suggests or dropping it completely. Regards, Michael (*) openjdk-8-jre is pulled via libreoffice -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
