Description: utilities to configure the Cinnamon desktop
This package contains configuration applets for the Cinnamon desktop,
allowing to set accessibility configuration, desktop fonts, keyboard
and mouse properties, sound setup, desktop theme and background, user
interface properties, screen resolution, and other Cinnamon parameters.
I don't see that same dependency in Debian Forky's cinnamon-control-center.
On another note, I just did a cinnamon desktop installation of daily
Forky and accountsservice did indeed not get installed. The only related
packages I see
are gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 and libaccountsservice0.
I checked with
aptitude why accountsservice
and I saw the following:
task-cinnamon-desktop depends on cinnamon-desktop-environment
cinnamon-desktop-environment recommends yelp
yelp depends libwebkitgtk-6.0-4 (>=2.5.3)
libwebkitgtk-6.0-4 recommends xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk suggests accountsservice
I think cinnamon-control-center, like in Linux Mint, should have a
dependency on accountsservice to draw the package in.
Best regards,
Jeroen Diederen
