[Test Case] * Install python-zeitgeist, and verify that python-gobject is not installed with it. * If it is already installed, you should be able to run 'apt-get purge python-gobject' without removing python-zeitgeist. [Regression Potential] Negligible. There are no code changes. The fix only removes a dependency on a transitional package that doesn't provide any files. --- [Impact] system-config-printer-gnome depends on python-gobject, which means python-gobject cannot be removed from the system. python-gobject is a transitional package, and packages should be updated to no longer depend on it.
