Actually the order is somewhat random (for curses only) depending on the order that APT lists the given dependencies. On the cmdline it is not random, but still could be cleaned up a bit.
In any case, this will be changed to a fixed order. At the moment there is an implicit "strength" order available: Enhances, Obsoletes, Replaces, Suggests, Breaks, Conflicts, Recommends, Depends, PreDepends but perhaps a - to + order is more suitable: Obsoletes, Replaces, Breaks, Conflicts, Enhances, Suggests, Recommends, Depends, PreDepends The list will start from PreDepends. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879683 Title: recommends are listed before reverse depends To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/879683/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
