( I use Debian etch). gnome-desktop-environment is just a so called meta-package: An empty package depending on other packages, to make it easy for you to install a group of packages. Since it's empty it's not a big problem, if it's removed while deinstalling evolution. The only drawback I could think of, that if future upgrades of gnome-desktop-environment would install additional packages, they won't be installed. You could however use equivs. Yours sincerely, Alexander -- http://learn.to/quote/ http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
