When I try to upgrade sawfish, I am greeted with: The following extra packages will be installed: bonobo-activation gconf2 gnome-mime-data gnome-vfs-extfs libart-2.0-2 libatk1.0-0 libbonobo-activation4 libbonobo2-0 libbonobo2-common libbonoboui2-0 libbonoboui2-common libfam0 libgconf2-4 libglade2-0 libglib2.0-0 libgnome2-0 libgnome2-common libgnome2-segv libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-common libgnomeui-0 libgnomeui-common libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common libgtk-common libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-common liblinc1 liborbit2 libpango-common libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common librep9 rep-gtk The following NEW packages will be installed: bonobo-activation gconf2 gnome-mime-data gnome-vfs-extfs libart-2.0-2 libatk1.0-0 libbonobo-activation4 libbonobo2-0 libbonobo2-common libbonoboui2-0 libbonoboui2-common libfam0 libgconf2-4 libglade2-0 libglib2.0-0 libgnome2-0 libgnome2-common libgnome2-segv libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-common libgnomeui-0 libgnomeui-common libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common libgtk-common libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-common liblinc1 liborbit2 libpango-common libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common The following held packages will be changed: rep-gtk This isn't acceptable. I've used sawfish for a long time because I admire its speed and elegance. This really inverts everything that sawfish means to me. I'm *not* going to run it if it's linked to 30MB (just ask apt) of libs that I will otherwise never use. I think it's really too bad because I like sawfish and it won't be easy to replace (since I've writen a bit of custom code). Now that I am moving to another window manager, I can no longer maintain rep-xmms whose primary use is through sawfish (using the sawfish-xmms package). The only outstanding bug is #147733, which I have verified the existance of on several unfortunate occasions.
