Package: grace Version: 1:5.1.25 Severity: normal Hi,
I noticed that grace depends now on gconf2 (stretch). By looking at the source package, it seems that this dep has been introduced by the addition of the thumbnailer in grace. However, forcing grace to depend on gconf2 does not make that much sense, since many people use grace in desktop environments which are not gnome based. And in many cases grace is still used only on the command-line (e.g. via ssh connections to clusters). Also, the provided thumbnailer feature, which triggers the dependency, is an addition to other software (namely, file managers) which might not be used at all by grace users. My humble suggestion is to remove this dependency, since it triggers a whole chain of other deps which are not necessary at all for grace to work properly, My2Cents KatolaZ
