Removing the "gnome" package does not cause you to remove the individual packages it depended on. Swapping the dependency is wrong; gnome-games does not depend on all of gnome. The purpose of the "gnome" package is just to be a placeholder for "all gnome-related packages". Deleting that package does not delete the individual packages that it depended on. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
