That seems reasonable. > Anyone got any ideas how to use the existing metadata in the package > archive to do better choices? For gkrellm-thinkbat the fact that it is a plugin combined with the fact that I don't have the dependencies installed should be enough to rule it out. Some plugins might use Enhances instead of Depends. $ apt-cache show gkrellm-thinkbat | grep -o 'role::[^ ,]*' role::plugin role::program $ apt-cache show gkrellm-thinkbat | grep Depends Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), gkrellm (>= 2.0.0) I cannot think of any straight-forward way to avoid the tpb suggestion, a more complicated way might be to demote things not using the same uitoolkit:: tag as my current desktop, but there would still not be any way to know that tpb provides the same functionality as my desktop. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
