[Bug 778054] [NEW] Trouble when removing transitional packages

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Mathew Hodson (mathew-hodson):

[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.

[Test Case]

* Install system-config-printer-gnome, 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 system-config-printer-gnome.

[Regression Potential]

Negligible. There are no code changes. The fix only removes a dependency
on a transitional package that doesn't provide any files.
