Can't uninstall one game without uninstalling them all

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Binary package hint: gnome-games

1. In Add/Remove Applications, find Iagno, and uncheck its checkbox.

What happens: A message appears saying "Iagno is part of a software collection. If you remove Iagno, you will remove all bundled applications as well." The list of games to be removed includes Tetravex, Chess, Four-in-a-Row, Mahjongg, Mines, FreeCell, Blackjack, Aisleriot, Nibbles, Robots, Tali, Klotski, Sudoku, Iagno, Gnometris, Five or More, and Same GNOME.

What should happen: You should be able to uninstall one or some of the games without uninstalling all of them.

Presumably the way to fix this problem is to package the games separately, with gnome-games perhaps becoming a metapackage that depends on the best few games (bug 376744).

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

splitting the game has already been discussed on other bugs and decided against because the disk space win is not worth the work to change the packaging especially if debian doesn't do the same choices, reassigning to gnome-app-install which should not list all the games as different components

[Bryan Quigley (bryanquigley)]

They have all been separated out to their own packages in 12.04.
