This sounds like PA isn't a dependency for GNOME any longer? This would mean that it's just a downstream bug, and PA should be handled as an optional dependency or not as a dependency at all by the distros.
More that it is an artifact of how Ubuntu--and I think other distributions, especially those related to Ubuntu--manage their package systems to install all the pieces they choose to install. They create packages--meta-packages--that have no functionality in and of themselves but come with lots and lots of dependencies, those being all the pieces they want to draw in. Then they can, at installation time, essentially list a very short number of meta-packages to install, and let all those dependencies be sorted out by the package manager. So it isn't necessarily really a gnome thing, though that might be how the distributions bring it together. - -- David Benfell benfell@parts-unknown.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJP2/P0AAoJELT202JKF+xpeEcP/2E5wNoem9XDO+qSaO2/P7IQ VKFtEOYbNfXhVn9MlkqJK3bbGFAhzZlzg7COOSihhw8kaa2jLA3/G1xjpZoXHoM9 qWIG8f0RTZbUgfMfFG+eeDxZ1ExkkC8fgPgXhfo17qE4f3gZgWU32MkRXGLGlCer wQl/JJ3NlcN3zw/IonPCuHa4SQrQZLBdAyxODZZl1HsYuc+5BkChTqqdP1qZqhzn fzz4NlLI+f/PmQq7AoiTRxJFIQEiHo/E9W9hixMhnzUmZs+42iauFvxdxMQUoUf/ ECPgVYtQAa/7yWxBdH9neVR0gQBLmKo10axLYpSXR7CPvF9UzXpgbHswiaqsoQDK Ag+4LY6QfG8TdZauq55qdm4N161zV8rLEvpzdDOG4fUI3jwBdTRjGmTXztyMGAW7 PwKFF2sA8B6R1n6bY6TB5nrbwQKfEteUvu/oPRY9kPkvrbiDeaPPG0cyU9cwPymt 2b3sH1IAKFNDYXpd1sQ4gRxNcZVZwbZuWUvFyDRvHWFErP4ZQaoRgB/aSfmnY0tP SZIJj/RuSHrYF6xoYmDUhAP4HKPKBBepKbLps+A3uPWV9zt1qpF3XVzS6cuRSMdw XzDmLsTv1Ha7HHfBprfD0+AUdrY2rBJsPYxVhxH+znn4+Ai7qJ2O6eCApJi4YfM6 EkV8Px/4/5Jf7G9cIKvi =hGpd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
