ubuntu-desktop shouldn't depends from gwibber

[balo]

In oneiric i can't remove gwibber packages because it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop package too.
ubuntu-desktop package shouldn't depends from gwibber (and gwibber-services).

[balo (vbalazs-deactivatedaccount)]

seems the last update fixed this issue.
somebody could confirm it?

[Alex Popovskiy (alex-popovskiy)]

I cannot confirm that, it still trying to delete ubuntu-desktop. And I can see ubuntu-desktop still have gwibber in its dependency list.

[Alistair Buxton (a-j-buxton)]

Same as of today.

[jhfhlkjlj (fdsuufijjejejejej-deactivatedaccount)]

As of Oneiric release it is still set to 'depends'.

[Matthias Niess (mniess)]

Is there a reason for this? Is this going to be fixed. Many people don't like gwibber, but like having ubuntu-desktop installed.

[Alexander Heuer (evilphish)]

Considering this a bug here as well. How can a desktop environment depend on a social network client? Gwibber is one of the first things I delete on every installation because I just don't need it so why should I have it installed?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Got confirmation from kenvandine on IRC that there's no reason this can't be a recommends, made the seed change, pending meta upload
