Live images dependencies: breaking libcanberra-gtk2 dependency
This week the KDE SIG team worked to remove libcanberra-gtk2 from the live images because it forces the inclusion of many GNOME dependencies due to a requirement for GDM. Kevin Kofler discovered that libcanberra-gtk2 requires GDM for ownership of a single file, /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/libcanberra-ready-sound.desktop. A bug[1] has been filed on the package and when this is resolved, the KDE Live Spins will have about 30MiB fewer dependencies.
