Ah I missed the "wget |" part. This is still a circular dependency on the rare systems where wget is not installed though. > Is enough to downgrade them to recommend? Actually in this instance, I would remove the "| intel-microcode" part because wget is "Priority: important", so it is unlikely that the "| intel-microcode" branch will be triggered anyway. Alternatively intel-microcode could only recommends microcode.ctl.
