I hadn't noticed it over the 15ish years I've used debian. It seems to be on by default. There is nothing under /etc/apt which references APT::Install-Recommends, and apt-get(8) describes the flag --no-install-recommends, not --install-recommends, implying that the latter is the intentional default. RB> What happens if you try to uninstall mplayer2? I must have done so. Neither mplayer nor mplayer2 are currently installed on any of my deb vms. But I don't remember doing so. :( So it obviously did not uninstall youtube-dl. (I do recall purging wayland a few days ago; that might have taken mplayer2 and many of its deps along for the ride. Freed up quite a bit of disk.)

As I noted above, I hadn't noticed --no-install-recommends before. Although it is (very) surprising that an upgrade would pull in something which hadn't been pulled in during the initial install. After time and sleep, I suspect that I should have posted this against apt rather than against youtube-dl. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
