'gnome-cards-data' not removed with 'gnome-games'

[Allan MacKinnon]

Binary package hint: gnome-cards-data

The package gnome-cards-data should be uninstalled with the gnome-games package.

With no games installed there is no reason to have the gnome-cards-data package there.

I guess this means that gnome-games lists gnome-cards-data as a recommend and not a depend. Please fix.

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Did you try to run "sudo apt-get autoremove"?

[Allan MacKinnon (theforkofjustice)]

I am using Gutsy and I ALWAYS use "sudo apt-get autoremove" ;)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

looks like an apt issue

gnome-cards-data isn't listed in the gnome-games package as a dependency. Should it be?

It is listed in gnome-games-data as a dependency and installs it if you are installing gnome-games, however it doesn't get automatically removed or autoremoved when gnome-games-data is uninstalled.

Weird.

Running apt-get as above (apt-get remove) will cause the packages to be removed but their configuration files, if any, will remain intact on the system. For a complete removal of the package, run:

     # apt-get --purge remove

Hope this helps :)
