I downloaded "Packages.bz2" from "http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian6.0.7/main/binary-amd64/"; and vim-common doesn't depend on vim-athena: Package: vim-common <snip> Version: 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3) Recommends: vim | vim-gnome | vim-gtk | vim-lesstif | vim-nox | vim-tiny <snip> so "apt-cache show vim-common" cannot list vim-athena on the "Recommends:" line. Do a test. If "dpkg -l <package>" outputs "un...", does "grep <package> /var/lib/apt/status" get a hit? How about if "dpkg -l <package>" outputs "no packages found matching..."? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
