I don't know, the point is that if people use the "gtk" front-end then I _think_ there will be all kind of exceptions and errors everywhere on the console. I have to test it doesn't happen and fallback to the pager front-end if glade isn't there. Then I'll be able to move that to a suggest because it won't break apt-listchanges badly. But it's a 10-liner away probably. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
