This seems to be a misunderstanding of the package relationships in Ubuntu/Debian. see e.g. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
Quote: Depends This declares an absolute dependency. A package will not be configured unless all of the packages listed in its Depends field have been correctly configured (unless there is a circular dependency as described above). Recommends This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency. The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations. End of quote As far as I understood, juce-tools can be installed without all those extra packages that are listed on that forum psoting, and you can start projucer without these. So they do not qualify for a "depends". If your attempt to compile an audio project fails with missing dependencies, then this is something different and in my opinion falls into the "recommends" category. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885939 Title: Required dependencies not installed along with juce-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/juce/+bug/1885939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
