Package: gnome-desktop-environment Version: 1:2.14.2 Severity: minor When I upgrade a held back version of gnome-desktop-environment using an "apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment" it superfluously recommends fam.
Recommending fam is not necessary, as a replacment package "gamin" is already installed as part of the the default debian system. Gamin claims to be a replacement for fam. Perhaps the right solution is to create a virtual "file alteration monitor" package, which gnome-desktop-environment recommends? Both fam and gamin can then provide this virtual "file alteration monitor" package, thus preventing gnome-desktop-environment from recommending a file alteration monitor when one is already installed. This extraneous recommendation by gnome-desktop-environment is quite confusing to the end user (Why do I need one of those?). Also there is a fair chance the user will follow the recommendation and install a second file alteration monitor. Do fam and gamin running at the same time have any negative effects on a system? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
