I use aptitude exclusively, and I've never managed to get it to pull in recommended packages. I basically go back in the buffer and cut & paste if I want them. Not the best way to do the job, I suppose. Then again , aptitude is not 'apt-get' but I'd hope much of the functionality is the same. Going back to apt-get because aptitude doesn't (or perceivably doesn't) handle recommends or other stuff the same way is likely to cause more problems than it solves. I know there is a switch something like "--with-recommends" but that doesn't seem to work either. And while I'm here, what is this "Unsupported proxy: false" when doing a dist-upgrade? It happens every time I do an upgrade and it's related to listing bugs, but that has never worked - although I usually ignore it anway, but I'm kind of curious. > > > - -- > Ron Johnson, Jr. > Jefferson LA USA > > We want... a Shrubbery!! > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFIA7hbS9HxQb37XmcRAlhSAKDHTTtbWmYg/iYzXX/4nDBMcgRGMgCgyXCr > SWRiZNeQDDuT9JifUc5Soqk= > =bo+e > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
