gnome-core: Depends on desktop-base NOT for Ubuntu

[Martin-Éric Racine]

In both meta-gnome2 (up to Natty) and meta-gnome3 (Oneric and beyond) gnome-core Depends on desktop-base. This is undesirable for an Ubuntu system, because it configures Debian-oriented GRUB2 and GNOME themes as global defaults.

ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10
Package: gnome-core (not installed)
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.1.0-1.1-generic 3.1.0-rc10
Uname: Linux 3.1.0-1-generic i686
ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3
Architecture: i386
Date: Thu Oct 20 21:34:53 2011
ProcEnviron:
 LANGUAGE=fi:en
 PATH=(custom, user)
 LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8
 SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: meta-gnome3
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It has been fixed in Quantal (or before). I am closing the bug.

$ apt-cache rdepends desktop-base # 12.04
desktop-base
Reverse Depends:
  libgnome2-common
  grub-pc-bin
  grub-common
  xfce4
  wmaker
  sabily-grub-artwork
  gnome-session-fallback
  gnome
  libgnome2-common
  grub-pc-bin
  grub-common
  gnome-session

It seems like we still get desktop-base when installing GNOME or Xfce4 on 12.04.
