Bug#1052997: mate-system-monitor: unwanted dependency on mate-session-manager
Source: mate-system-monitor
Version: 1.26.0-4
X-Debbugs-CC: sunweaver@debian.org, martin@wimpress.org
mate-system-monitor 1.26.0-4 added a new dependency on mate-session-manager.
That's because it uses mate-session-check-accelerated (which is found
in mate-session-manager).
However, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Kylin, and Ubuntu Unity all include
mate-system-monitor in their default install. mate-session-manager
ends up pulling in the MATE desktop which is definitely unwanted and
disruptive for those Ubuntu flavors.
Could you just drop the dependency? Things apparently have worked well
enough for a while without mate-session-manager installed.
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
