gnome-utils was split up into various tarballs: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeUtils task-gnome contained only a "Obsoletes: gnome-utils". I replaced it with suggests for the splitted packages to ensure that gnome-screenshot (the bug) as well as the other replacements would be installed. Or do you mean that above webpage is wrong? Could be, didn't really check that thoroughly what packages replaced gnome-utils. > 2) Also as those are suggests, they'll never end on the install DVD, > thus defeating > " ensure gnome-utils is installed" I have asked many times about task-gnome and task-gnome-minimal and everyone has their own definition. I've asked various times if the "GNOME" option in the installer could please reflect "GNOME", and not some weird cut-down version of it called "task-gnome-minimal", but haven't gotten very far with that. I don't want to step on toes and just ignore the "task-gnome-minimal" vs "task-gnome", etc (I still don't get why we have -minimal; I also don't see why we have task-gnome though.. seems that not even Nautilus would be installed), so I added Suggests instead. I don't really see any difference between either having the gnome-screenshot as a Suggests in task-gnome (which the installer doesn't install, it looks at task-gnome-minimal) or as Suggests in task-gnome-minimal (which won't end up on the DVD apparently). If task-gnome-minimal is "not to be touched" and task-gnome is not installed by the installer.. what am I to do to fix bugs? Suggests seems like the only option. Furthermore, I've also added a gnome-screenshot Suggests to gnome-shell. IMO mga#4903 was an avoidable bug. As bugs are discovered on resulting dependency problems, I want to fix every case. To me it seems the wrong way to deal with this, but I rather raise "-minimal" strangeness after Mageia 2 release so I can point at the resulting bugs. -- Regards, Olav
