Bug#1127401: gnome: Dependency on libreoffice*

[Christian Buhtz]

Package: gnome
Severity: normal

Hello,
it seems that "gnome" depends on "libreoffice*".

So when I uninstall "libreoffice*" it also uninstalls "gnome".

That makes not much sense. I suggest to modify the libreoffice dependency to
"suggestion" instead of a hard dependency. I am sure there are gnome users
without the need of libreoffice.

Regards,
Christian
