Description of Problem: This is a problem with no good solution. Graphical install. Selected GNOME from the groups of packages you can select. Didn't select Graphics, so I don't know whether that would have pulled it in. gnome-applets has a gorgeous utility called screenshooter, which takes screenshots (duh :)). It calls convert to do the job. convert is from imagemagick. You can easily select GNOME (and hence gnome-applets) and end up without ImageMagick installed, which means that screenshooter silently fails to do anything. I'm not sure whether the solution is to make gnome-applets depend on imagemagick or not: it will annoy people who install gnome-applets but never use screenshooter. It's quite a big package to download and install just to satisfy a dependency for a program you don't use.. But if they do use screenshooter, they'll need it. Is it possible for GNOME in the initial "general categories" section to include imagemagick? People can always uncheck it in the long list of packages you can customise then. (If it would require an actual dependency for this to work, I think that would be bad. This is just if it's possible to add it to the GNOME stuff in that general section and leave it up to people to remove it if they want to.)
The installer doesn't control how packages are grouped. Changing component to distribution.
changed in the comps file.
This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
