gnome-pilot and ubuntu-desktop
I agree with previous comments - there is no reason why PalmOS Devices should
be tied so closely to gnome-desktop. gnome-desktop is a core package and
PalmOS is (should be) an optional one.
In fact, I firmly believe that PalmOS support should be completely
optional and not installed by

gnome-pilot isn't directly a dependency of ubuntu-desktop: ubuntu-
desktop depends on gnome-pilot-conduits that, in turns, depends on
gnome-pilot.
As of Intrepid, gnome-pilot-conduits was demoted from dependency to recomended
dependency in ubuntu-desktop, but PalmOS Devices cannot be removed
Yes I totally agree with you. It should be possible to remove / replace
every application without the need to remove ubuntu-desktop. Or at least
reduce the requirements of applications for ubuntu-desktop to a limit,
like gnome (minimal-desktop + update-manager etc. without
firefox/Evolution/ etc.)
It appears to me that dropping gnome-pilot from a Depends to a
Recommends would be consistent with our handling of other hardware-
specific packages, such as hplip, bluez-utils, and wvdial. Reassigning
to the ubuntu-meta package, since that's where the change has to be
made.
** Changed in:
I am also trying to remove the Palm Pilot support from my system. I am
using 8.04. I am unable to do so using the Add / Remove Applications
and using the Synaptic Package Manager to remove it, requires me to
remove ubuntu-desktop, which warns you not to remove it.
1. The palm pilot support
Why do you want to remove it? I think it 's part of the OS. If you don't want
to use it just remove your Palm ID from pilot.
