Dependencies and GNOME

Dependencies and GNOME

[Peter Hull]

I just ran setup (2.870, 32-bit) and it installed a lot of GNOME
software that I didn't have before and didn't ask for(e.g. Epiphany).
My fault for clicking through I suppose without checking.

Looking at dependencies in setup.ini I see xinit requires
adwaita-icon-theme and that pulls in a load of GNOME libraries, but I
still can't see why the 'top level' applications were installed.

Is this expected/normal or have I done something wrong?

xinit also requires fbpanel, which requires the same GTK+ libraries.
Adwaita is pulled in as the default GTK+ theme since 3.14.

This is not expected.  Nothing depends on epiphany that would have
caused it to be pulled in without having selected it (or the GNOME
category) for installation.

Thanks for the swift reply. Probably I just did select the category by
accident (it's been one of THOSE weeks!) - I think I'll re-install
cygwin and keep a careful watch for anything odd happening.
