Well, since rhythmbox is part of the gnome task, and it was already included in the gnome meta-package in sarge I guess you are correct (now). However, for sid users, notice that rhythmbox depended on avahi-daemon from version 0.9.2-3 (2006-01-22) until version 0.9.3-1 (2006-02-05). So, any sid user that upgraded his system (even from sarge or etch) in those two weeks (from January the 22nd to February the 5th) they *will* have avahi installed regardless. Also, any user that does a limite install and then installs the gnome meta-package (not the gnome-desktop task with tasksel) will pull in avahi too. Regards Javier
