As I said previously, I've compiled the exact same version of gedit as 
we have packaged and even with all bells and whistles turned on, there 
is no need for libnet.

I'm suggesting that there was a library (which gedit is linked to) which 
needed libnet in the past, but a upgrade of that library has made the 
need for libnet obsolete.
