The problem is that Solitare and the other gnome games are packaged in only one package. Two options: file a bug against gnome-games that every game should be self contained in its own package or we intrduce the concept of "software collections" to gnome-app-install.
If you want to remove the gnome-games, you will get the following message: "Solitare is part of the software collection gnome-games You can only remove the whole collection that also contains the following applications: Mines FreeCell [Cancel] [Remove Collection]" ** Changed in: gnome-app-install (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Sebastian Heinlein -- Meta packages should not depend on any app that appears in the application menu https://launchpad.net/bugs/48465 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
