Bug Description

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-live-autostart

As part of my plan to have gnome-volume-manager removed from the archive (as it is completely unmaintained and obsolete now), the rdepends of g-v-m must be dealt with first.

gnome-volume-manager currently has these rdepends:

mythbuntu-live-autostart
libipoddevice0
ipod
gnome-desktop-environment
brdesktop-gnome

The idea of this bug report is to evaluate each of these and remove the dependencies where possible/appropriate. If the dependency can not be removed, then we should evaluate whether we still want to keep the package in the archive, depending on deprecated and unmaintained packages, or make an effort to port to more modern API's, eg GIO / gdu etc.

libipoddevice will probably be handled by removal from the archive (I will open another bug report for that)

This bug was fixed in the package meta-gnome2 - 1:2.28+1ubuntu1

---------------
meta-gnome2 (1:2.28+1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Sync on Debian unstable.
  * debian/control:
    - gnome:
      + Use system-config-printer-gnome and not
        system-config-printer (LP: #273015).
      + Remove gnome-volume-manager depends. This is not necessary
        alongside gvfs (which is pulled in by gnome-core)
        (LP: #412643).
      + Don't recommend hal-cups-utils. This is just a transitionary
        package to handle upgrades to system-config-printer-udev,
        which is already recommended via system-config-printer-gnome.
      + Depend on software-center as a preferred alternative to
        gnome-app-install
    - gnome-office: Don't depend on abiword-plugin-goffice which doesnt
      exist in ubuntu. Add depend on abiword instead.
    - gnome-core-devel:
      + Remove libgail-dev as gail is in gtk2.
      + Relax libgtop2-dev and python-gobject-dev requirements
    - gnome-devel:
      + Unversion glade-gnome
      + Relax gnome-devel-docs requirement
    - gnome-dbg:
      + Remove depend on libgail-dbg
      + Supersede firefox 3.0 and xulrunner-1.9; drop xulrunner-1.9-dbg
        from recommends.
    - gnome-desktop-environment:
      + Don't depend on gnome-mount.
      + Relax ekiga requirement.
    - gnome-api-docs:
      + Relax gnome-devel-docs and python-gobject-dev
        requirements.
      + Change libgtop2-doc depend to libgtop2-dev recommend. The package
        is not split in Ubuntu, and the documentation is shipped with the
        header files.
