Bug Description
Binary package hint: xfce4
xfce depends on gamin... previously fam would "provide" gamin... now it's libfam that states it provides libgamin although xfce still depends on gamin.
Gamin does not work well with NFS (it does'nt always notify changes on file and directory on nfs mounts) so I have to keep fam to behave properly in my environment.
Overall, if I'm using fam on my system I cannot install XFCE anymore with 10.04. Perhaps xfce could depends on gamin | fam to fix the problem? (actually xfdesktop4 package)

It's not a dependency, gamin is only recommended by xfdesktop4 (at least in 11.04, but it should be the same in 10.04). So you should be able to replace it by fam if you prefer (maybe you'll need to disable the automatic installation of recommended packages by default for that to work).
