Ah, yes. My minimal chroot wasn't minimal enough. I see that python3.X-minimal Recommends python3.x. I don't know the origin of this Recommends, but it's been there a long time. And it really does stand. We don't recommend that anyone use the -minimal interpreter on its own. It exists for use-cases where size really matters, like installer environments, and Recommends would generally be disabled in those scenarios. We strongly discourage anything in Debian from depending on the minimal packages: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/index.html#minimal-packages So, let's go back to first principles. What problem are you trying to solve that requires the minimal interpreter, but also wants Recommends enabled? SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
