Package: aptitude Version: 0.5.9rc2-1 Severity: wishlist I install a package. (Note, I always use the command line, not the aptitude GUI or whatever). I see The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
That is nice but why, why, why don't you also mention what is Suggested? E.g., I install gnuplot-x11. I wonder "where is the documentation for this thing?" Well, there it is, mentioned right there in the Suggests:, but aptitude doesn't mention it to me. All aptitude mentions is Recommends, making me think that that is all I need to be aware of. Sure, other packages mention their -doc packages in Recommends, but some do so, and also mention other packages that one should be aware of, but no... no mention of them from aptitude. Sure one can use # aptitude -o ...Suggests... but there isn't a configuration variable available to turn listing of Suggests on. In fact it should be on by default, with a variable available for those who want to turn it off. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
