When I updated rhythmbox, hal got installed. This made me wince a little. rhythmbox requires python2-libgnome, which requires libgnomeui, which requires libbonoboui, which requires libgnome, which requires gnome-vfs, which requires hal, which is stupid IMHO. Rhythmbox may not be at fault here, but triggered me to write this bug report here anyway.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  We won't remove dependencies if it causes a massive amount of error messages on every startup.

i added almost all dependencies that rhythmbox requires to silently start without any errors.

python2-libgnome is used by two plugins, magnatune and jamendo. IMO those are very important and have to work out of the box

I see. I guess it can't be helped then...
Thanks for the quick reply.
