The problem is that libgnome2-perl drags a lot of gnome dependencies with it. synaptic tries to keep a small dependency profile. That's why it is currently a recommend only. I think debian should install libgnome2-perl by default if the user seleects a gnome-desktop. I perfer that much over having a dependency on libgnome2-perl. To me, this is a perfect example of a "recommends" :) Another solution would be to make apt install recommends by default. Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.
