After a litte digging in the BTS, I just found that the option I was using in .aptitude/config was WRONG, and I should use another option to not install the Recommends packages. Now, the upgrade of kernel-package seems fine:
# aptitude upgrade Resolving dependencies... The following NEW packages will be installed: docbook-xsl{a} libxml2-utils{a} xmlto{a} xsltproc{a} The following packages will be upgraded: kernel-package The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: dblatex docbook-utils fop kernel-common # aptitude install kernel-package The following NEW packages will be installed: docbook-xsl{a} libxml2-utils{a} xmlto{a} xsltproc{a} The following packages will be upgraded: kernel-package The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: dblatex docbook-utils fop kernel-common Sorry, It's my fault to not recheck what's going on before opening the bug. Now the number of packages involved seems rather small (but maybe I already have installed the XML/docbook stuff), so I don't know what to say, if it's better a Depends: or a Recommends: to xmlto package. In any case, I consider this bug solved. Thank you for your patience. -- Saludos de Javier <jcant...@escomposlinux.org>
