Bug#742205: gnome-session-flashback: Overdependency: gnome-session-flashback installation should not lead to the installation of gnome-shell

[Piotr Jurkiewicz]

Package: gnome-session-flashback
Version: 3.8.0-2
Severity: important



When user installs gnome-session-flashback in a clean system it leads to the installation of gnome-shell and a lot of its dependencies. When user explicitly install flashback session it means the he does not want to use gnome-shell and does not want to install gnome-shell session but only gnome-flashback session.
