Re: Gnome metapackage dependencies
Hello, You mean that i have to do a minimal install of debian without adding the metapackage on installation and then add gnome manually? Is there any info / guide on this?

No. I mean that that packages which 'apt-get autoremove' wants to remove can be left untouched by marking them as manually installed. apt-mark is a useful program for this.

Re: Gnome metapackage dependencies
No problem at all. I just want to verify my thoughts or share them. I also checkout the project and i am now after it. We will see.
