Why does GNOME require Gnash? And what can I do to put a stop to it?
Look at the following metapackages, their descriptions and dependencies:
gnome
gnome-desktop-environment
gnome-core
Choose the one which best suits your purposes and install it.
Oddly, for some reason, they all require Gnash. I'm rooting for Gnash,
I hope Gnash works out in the end, and with HTML5 video tag, maybe it
will, but on my system, in Sqeeze, all three packages are installed,
they all require each other, and they all require Gnash, which at the
moment, is not my first choice. At all.
I'm surprised to hear that gnome-core requires gnash. It's certainly not
the case on Lenny:
$ apt-cache depends gnome-core
gnome-core
Depends: gnome-control-center
Depends: eog
Depends: gedit
Depends: gnome-applets
Depends: gnome-icon-theme
Depends: gnome-menus
Depends: gnome-panel
Depends: gnome-session
Depends: gnome-settings-daemon
Depends: gnome-terminal
|Depends: metacity
Depends: compiz-gnome
Depends: nautilus

Depends: scrollkeeper

Suggests: gnome-desktop-environment
Which release are you running?
Current Squeeze.
eog
gedit
gnome-applets
gnome-control-center
gnome-icon-theme
gnome-menus
gnome-panel
gnome-power-manager
gnome-session
gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-terminal
gvfs
metacity
mutter
nautilus
yelp
suggests gnome-desktop-environment
There are several things. One is gnome-desktop-environment.
Suggestions and recommendations get added automatically, if I don't
watch out. Can't figure out why.
GDE depends on gnome-core. Gnome depends on GDE. None of the three
currently installed depends on gnash according to apt-cache, but
updating any of the three or gnome-accessibility tries to install gnash.
Go figure.
