Package: cairo-dock-shortcuts-plug-in
Version: 3.5.1-1.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
My primary file manager is Caja (from the MATE desktop) in a OpenBox system.
However, some applications insist on opening directories in Nautilus, which I
do not use and wish to remove.
When attempting to remove Nautilus, APT proposes to also remove Cairo-Dock
because the package cairo-dock-shortcuts-plug-in has a hard dependency on
Nautilus.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I tried to remove Nautilus via sudo apt remove nautilus.
APT responded that it would also remove cairo-dock due to dependency issues.
I investigated with apt-cache rdepends nautilus and found that
cairo-dock-shortcuts-plug-in directly depends on Nautilus.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I could not remove Nautilus without also removing Cairo-Dock, which I want to
keep.
The dependency chain forces users to either:
Keep Nautilus installed unnecessarily, or
Lose Cairo-Dock functionality.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected to be able to:
Remove Nautilus safely while keeping Cairo-Dock.
Have cairo-dock-shortcuts-plug-in work with any file manager (via xdg-open) or
depend on the file-manager virtual package instead of hard-coding a dependency
on Nautilus.
Thank you,
