Bug#563484: gnome-core pulls evolution-data-server

[Georg Gast]

Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:2.28+3
Severity: normal

Hi,

if you install in a fresh Debian Gnu/Linux Squeeze (minimal system) "gnome-core",  apt-get pulls "evolution-data-server". In my opionion this is not necessary. 

Example: If you install a "Standard Desktop System" and you want to remove Evolution, then apt-get wants to remove the whole gnome desktop environment. The dependency from "evolution-data-server" might be the reason. gnome-core does not seem to be dependant from "evolution-data-server". See below. 

I was not able to find the dependant subpackage which pulls "evolution-data-server" into the system so i reported this bug at "gnome-core".

Thank you for your very impressive work :)

Best Regards

Georg Gast
