Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.14.3.6
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
In testing installed with the 'desktop' and 'gnome' tasks, gnome depends
on gnome-office, that depends on abiword, that opens .odt files instead
of openoffice.org, and this is currently annoying people around me (and
me as a consequence)>
I cannot remove abiword without removing gnome, and if I do that, lots
of packages will be marked for removal because they've been
autoinstalled pulled in by gnome.
There is not, TTBOMK, a decent mime type preference editor that I can
let people use to configure the system to use a different word processor
by default.
My alternatives now are either to remove gnome and remark other packages
as manually installed, or use equivs to provide a fake abiword.
Therefore, at this point, there seems to be no way to have
openoffice.org as the default word processor without expert user
intervention. In my experience, this is a *very* common use case.
A simple way out could be to have the gnome metapackages just
Recommends: the other packages, at least until a decent mime preference
editor comes out.
Ciao,
Enrico
