[Bug 778054] Re: Trouble when removing transitional packages

[Mathew Hodson]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: openoffice.org
+ [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.
  
- I removed the following transitional packages;
- * openoffice.org-calc
- * openoffice.org-gnome
- * openoffice.org-help-en-gb
- * openoffice.org-help-en-us
- * openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us
- * openoffice.org-impress
- * openoffice.org-l10n-en-za
- * openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us
- * openoffice.org-writer
- * compiz-fusion-plugins-main
- * firefox-branding
- * gnome-utils
- * language-selector
- * ubufox
- * python-desktopcouch
+ [Test Case]
+ * Install system-config-printer-gnome, and verify that python-gobject is not installed with it.
  
- But now the system wants to autoremove the following packages:
- * gnome-dictionary
- * hyphen-en-us
- * libreoffice-help-en-gb
- * libreoffice-l10n-common
- * libreoffice-l10n-en-gb
- * libreoffice-l10n-en-za
- * python-desktopcouch-recordtypes

+ * If it is already installed, you should be able to run 'apt-get purge

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