[dante19992]

o shizz!!!!!! ummm do i need the package named "gnome-core"?

EDIT: im also having some trouble with wine. id like to install 1.3.11 but all i can seem to install using lmde is 1.1.42 any help here?

EDIT2: also i discovered a few bugs. a lot of the sound effects such as boot and shutdown (not login tho) only play a quick static zap like sound. as well my comp installed epiphany browser all on its own o.o

In your updates, gnome-core got updated. The gnome-core metapackage now has Epiphany and Evolution included. So, those got added when you updated. There was already a lot of talk about the gnome-core metapackage a few weeks ago. You may want to look over that thread. No harm in having a backup browser and email/calendar, however.

This was a recent discussion about the situation you are now enjoying.

Was there anything wrong with selecting Preferences from the right-click menu? You can directly affect the Places items from there.

uhm no - you can't
edit: note, that we're NOT talking about mintmenu

I'll let the Level 3's through, then I'll do the following, per rivenathos:

I saw an interesting fix in that bug report:


Code: Select all
aptitude unmarkauto ~R^gnome-core$
aptitude remove gnome-core


That looks more professional than the way I have done it.

Goodbye Gnome-Core Metapackage,
Thanks,
Dave
