i suspect this will also happen if a user selects the Desktop task from debian-installer, as tasksel uses "aptitude --without-recommends". and that's probaly not the only package burned by this bug (i think ltsp and live-package are suffer). is there some other way the upgrading issues could be addressed? live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
