[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#562224: xfce4-goodies: Factual conflict with Gnome

[Erich Schubert]

Package: xfce4-goodies
Version: 4.4.2.2
Severity: normal

AFAICT you cannot install xfce4-goodies on a system which also has Gnome
installed. This makes the meta-package useless for systems that also have
Gnome users.

xfce4-goodies DEPENDS xfce4-notifyd

gnome-power-manager DEPENDS notification-daemon
gnome-core DEPENDS gnome-power-manager

xfce4-notifyd CONFLICTS notification-daemon
---

Please find a way that allows the admin of a system with Gnome installed to
just install "xfce4-goodies" without having to uninstall parts of Gnome.
(E.g. lessening the 'depends' to a 'recommends', or allowing Gnome
notification-daemon as an alternative to the xfce4-notifyd)
Feel free to also reassign/clone this bug to xfce4-notifyd - ideally, it could
be installed in parallel to gnome notification daemon; because after all,
a system might have users with a gnome preference AND other users with a
xfce preference.
