Either the description of uuid-runtime should make it clear when it must be installed. Or libuuid should depends on uuid-runtime.

An important note is that I find recommends vs suggests very confusing. > Regards > > David > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) > > iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJQ1wMfAAoJELgqIXr9/gnyw9UQAIAtblj0vkgkf99qB3F85WgG > rR9FZ6sU2hzO4NHNuqBMpLOlduJDYkEy8ggbovLu4QB+nB6UP755B6avia636azH > DILH3gbyjS02+uqnevwHAiHM7Lg3j4SyhorK/5y4QhjdLtG+1ERLTJKPoKq7R11A > Gk4HDHl7tiKi39BpaX0E/FN2CMK/3RWR3O45akzTFrv34T3SjU7Lz957JQMBnkVb > StCMPl2brdA/R/vM+GC+lKuNAocMY+N58+dC5+OVGzSExcyxF2T/HHyOOjDbWIP0 > HiYFnreiw9twNnZmNIy7EPmf7JkcDstWBZNNlmbHVa/PwmtFJMoMEvloH488uN0Y > XSRC9xGw8sZUnIvXWxiMsVajYW9W1B0+o9QI6Wk76x4qtMlpFpZGYNHSZ53qasI9 > rinZUJ0vW9Ix4L9YKCbA+0+4/8teyZvIbaP2KDJvWOSAcNamKauxyvdSOh16C1Hs > Ja+d/hrCP+WLTnaMV/sx1INZn7ZoXMGIGeKBjXd4oOQGShDDU6/t1gBTj0hAVzsF > PTLioNGWVhRizMVsiSo6XXypZYvMn//QKJvAmX6WccrepS+dz6h+ZQwQgl4kssMT > /TP6jC+wuHEPcJLhMdYxgCX6+1TAUEuC9JC7d0T1XZA/OvtgBkNzhGkY1anQJB1h > dU3KaNnxLfXx6YMnmW7z > =cbSD > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
