Package: wajig Version: 2.0.38 Followup-For: Bug #402598
I just came across the same problem: it appeared that installr, aka recommends, did not actually install recommended packages. In fact, this is not true. In fact, it does install recommends, but only of packages explicitly requested for installation, not of their dependencies. So, if package a depends on b, and b recommends c, then “wajig install a” will install a and b but not c, whereas “wajig install b” will install b and c. Fairly obviously, this sucks, both because it looks like it doesn’t work and because it’s not nearly as useful as it should be. You can use aptitude -r to achieve this result. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (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 wajig depends on: ii apt 0.7.20.2+lenny1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii dselect 1.14.28 Debian package management front-en ii python 2.5.2-3 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-apt 0.7.7.1+nmu1 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii python-central 0.6.8 register and build utility for Pyt wajig recommends no packages.
