gnome-pilot isn't directly a dependency of ubuntu-desktop: ubuntu- desktop depends on gnome-pilot-conduits that, in turns, depends on gnome-pilot.
As of Intrepid, gnome-pilot-conduits was demoted from dependency to recomended dependency in ubuntu-desktop, but PalmOS Devices cannot be removed using gnome-app-install; Why? Because PalmOS Devices (that is, an application in gnome-app-install) refers to gnome-pilot; but gnome-pilot is a dependency of gnome-pilot-conduits that, in turns, is a recomended dependency of ubuntu-desktop; so, software depends on PalmOS Devices and it cannot be removed (in gnome-app-install). Some options to fix this: 1. replace the recomended dependency of gnome-pilot-conduits in ubuntu-desktop with gnome-pilot; or 2. make the PalmOS Devices application refers to gnome-pilot-conduits instead of gnome-pilot. -- gnome-pilot and ubuntu-desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201676 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
