Description of problem:
I was stunned to when when I tried to install evolution,
that I get ... gnome-panel as a dependency ???

How in the world can a mail application depend on the complete desktop panel?

Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2008-04-21 19:01:12 UTC

That's actually gnome-pilot pulling it gnome-panel, because it installs a panel
applet.  In Fedora 9, the gnome-pilot stuff is split from the main evolution
package into an optional subpackage called evolution-conduits.

Not really anything I can do for Fedora 8 at this point.

Matthew,

pleasure to hear the improvement for F-9. Thanks.
