In one of the cases I found this won't be correct: gnome-mount depends on hal as it doesn't work at all without hal. libnautilus-burn should depend on gnome-mount as it can't do some stuff if gnome-mount is not available. If this is a recommends only, people that don't install recommends have a unusable library lying around. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
