Recommends is only a lighter Depends and it would be very very fine if people wouldn't ignore it. do not blame my relationships only because apt-get does not honour them, i'm using policy and it is much older than apt-get, ok? you raised a good problem but you are trying to solve it in the wrong place, look: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 ~<% grep ^Recommends: /var/lib/dpkg/available|wc -l 1077 all thess packages use Recommends and all would break thanks to apt-get. solving the problem your way would may be ok for aspell but still would leave 1076 broken packages. installing any of these 1076 packages with apt-get would happily drop important pieces of software, this is the real bug. now, this priority is too high and i don't see too many people agreeing with you... ciao cavok -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://filibusta.crema.unimi.it/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
