Re: Remove gnome-games

Hi Ron,

When you say "gnome", do you mean the package named "gnome"?

If so, you should be all right. Unless aptitude does something stupid.


Sorry for my inaccurate description.


Here's aptitude's warning:

gnome-games will be removed.

The following packages depend on gnome-games and will be broken by its
removal:

*gnome-desktop-environment depends on gnome-games (>= 1:2.14.3)


What happens when gnome-desktop-environment will be broken. I never use it
anyway. But IIRC I've read that some kde apps use some gnome stuff. So I
don't know if I can safely remove gnome-games.

I rather have gnome-desktop-environment removed completely, but I don't know
what part or apps of kde will be broken then.

Thanks, Manon.
