Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 57
Severity: normal
gnome-desktop-environment depends on mozilla-xft that depends on
mozilla-browser. So it forces the installation of mozilla browser
in addition of Epiphany/Galeon (and people like I using firefox
end up having 3 browsers installed).
a few solutions...:
* you could add mozilla (if mozilla is enough
"gnome compatible", same for Firefox) in the 'OR' list of browsers
dependences. So if people choose mozilla as browser then wont at
least have Galeon/Epiphany as a second one.
* suppress mozilla-xft dependence in gnome-desktop-environment
* forward this bug to mozilla-xft maintainer so that it does not
depends on mozilla-browser (only).
