Hello, i have a simple question which i already reported about gnome metapackage and gnome-core. Why a simple removal of a text editor gedit or gnome-music should ruin a fresh installation of Debian Jessie? I mean after all is that a "marketing" strategy by promoting a "gnome-ish" application or a couple applications over others? I just want to use rhythmbox and remove gnome-music without destoying gnome desktop. Thank you, Diamantis -- Diamantis G. Karagkiaouris Software Engineer European Dynamics, http://www.eurodyn.com/

Hello, You mean that i have to do a minimal install of debian without adding the metapackage on installation and then add gnome manually? Is there any info / guide on this?

No. I mean that that packages which 'apt-get autoremove' wants to remove can be left untouched by marking them as manually installed. apt-mark is a useful program for this.
