The odd thing for me is that removing a program would remove things that have absolutely nothing to do with it. I think this comes from the fact that a library depends on an end user program. It's even stranger for me as I don't use Gnome but KDE. those gnome libs are just there because of dependencies, I presume.
Can't even remember what the discussion was about now ;) Could be that libgnome includes gconf schemas that set things like default browser so I'd set a dep to ensure that that browser is installed.
Isn't there any better / softer way to suggest that "dependency"?
Ain't gonna happen now, not building anything for 9.1 any more, I'm now running 9.3 Oh, and incidentally, won't be building a full GNOME install for 9.3 (well, might tackle 2.11/2.12 as it comes around towards the autumn) cos the GNOME install in 9.3 just rocks hard enough as it is, so I'm going back to filling in the gaps and providing updates. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org GNOME for SuSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms
