Ok, thanks. As someone else suggested, I _did_ in fact have bonobo
installed.
I have to say, I still prefer apt to aptitude. I just tried to uninstall
bonobo via aptitude, and it just silently puts the package on hold instead of
purging it like I requested. Meanwhile, if I do an apt-get --purge remove, I
get what I want immediately.
tigger:~# apt-get --purge remove bonobo
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
bonobo* libgtkhtml20* libguppi16*
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 10 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 4023kB will be freed.
I don't even know how bonobo got on the system, since there's no
application I'm using that requires it. I guess that brings us back to the
original topic. ;-)
