Bug#891986: mate-desktop does not depend on marco
Control: close -1

when I start mate it does not start a WM as marco is not installed but
mate-wm tries to launch it. I did "apt install mate-desktop" to see if
it is not fully installed but all dependencies were there and it said
nothing to install.
Thank you Alex for the report, we're happy to see you helping Debian.
Why do you think mate-desktop should do that, the description is
"Library with common API for various MATE modules".
One of the meta packages should depend on marco.
Yes, it's already the case, mate-desktop is not a meta package. The
package you expect is mate-desktop-environment. You could also install
it easily from the tasksel command in root or from the installation CD
of Debian.
I hope my answer has helped you to figure out the issue. I close the bug
because I assume it's not a bug. Let me know if you think I should
reopen it.
Best regards,
Alex ARNAUD.
