Hi!
I have noticed some strange behaviour when using the "Fix broken
packages" feature. I tried to remove the libgnome package by calling:
rpm -e libgnome --nodeps
Then I started synaptic and apparently received a warning about broken
packages. Then I tried "Fix broken packages" and synaptic suggested to
remove all those packages that depend on libgnome. I guess that's not a
user-friendly solution ;-)
On the contrary, when you try to run "apt-get -f install", apt-get would
offer you to install libgnome package that is missing. This looks like a
more correct behaviour for me.
What do you guys think about it?
Thanks,
Andrey
P.S> I am using synaptic 0.47.
