retitle 494574: apt-get installs recommends from installed packages during dist-upgrade, affecting apticron behavior reassign 494574 apt 0.7.14+b1 merge 494574 485943
thanks Hi Thue, Thanks for reporting this bug. In fact apticron is listing new recommended packages on its daily email. I could add in apticron the following parameter to avoid this behavior: -o APT::Install-Recommends=false However, I prefer to suggest you to do it in your server if you don't want apticron sending messages for new recommended packages. You can do it by adding a config file in your apt like this: echo 'APT::Install-Recommends "0";' > \ /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/71_install_recommends Why do I prefer not 'fix' it in apticron? Because it is a bug in apt-get, already fixed and going to be uploaded soon: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485943 Regards, -- Tiago Bortoletto Vaz http://tiagovaz.org 0xA504FECA - http://pgp.mit.edu GNU/Linux user #188687
