Severity: normal
fam is broken, it breaks umounting cdroms, and it's an unsolved old
problem:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245448
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272577
A Debian system is useless if novice users are unable to unmount cdroms,
so I think this is a RC bug (fam bug) and that gnome shouldn't depend on
it, until fixed.
gamin seems to do the same without problems, so could you please remove
the fam dependency?
Regards,
Roberto Lumbreras

If fam has bugs, these bugs have to be addressed. Most bugs you
mention have been addressed. Additionally, gnome offers a gamin
alternative, hence I'm closing this bug.
