Can I please ask, though, that if it's added to ubuntu-desktop, it be the type of dependency where removing it doesn't also remove the ubuntu-desktop meta-package? Those kind are annoying, since you uninstall an app that you don't want, then 6 months later it's upgrade time, so you have to reinstall the app (while the servers are being super-duper slow due to everyone upgrading) and ubuntu-desktop before you can upgrade, and then you remove them again right after. -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 <a href="http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com">http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com</a> <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo
