Package: libpcsclite1 Version: 1.4.100-3 Severity: normal Since apt now installs Recommended packages by default, I now have pcsd installed even though I have no smart card reader:
$ aptitude why pcscd i network-manager Depends wpasupplicant (>= 0.4.8) i A wpasupplicant Depends libpcsclite1 (>= 1.4.99) i A libpcsclite1 Recommends pcscd Since network-manager is installed by default on Desktop machines, I think the recommendation should be downgraded to a suggestion. The policy manual states: "This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency. The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations." I think that only a fraction of the systems with libpcsclite1 installed will actually have a smart card reader. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (530, 'testing'), (520, 'unstable'), (510, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libpcsclite1 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries Versions of packages libpcsclite1 recommends: ii pcscd 1.4.100-3 Middleware to access a smart card -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
