In my humble opinion this lack in the manpage of apt would have to be considered very important, because the man is the primary source of information of the command line options/switches of a computer program. In addiction, apt is one of the most important parts of a Debian system. Then, it should be documented well. Moreover, the new default policy about recommended packages could surprise an old Debian user, accustomed with the previous behaviour. For this reason, I think could be a good idea to include even only a little sentence about this in the man. Even if the apt-get program works well, I think that this bug should be considered carefully for a stable version as the upcoming lenny. In this sense, I think that this problem is a "soft" release blocker. Currently, I'm not able to modify a manpage, but I can help the maintainers to write the new parts to be included in the man of apt-get. Feel free to contact me directly for this reason. I will try to help you as I can to fix this issue. Thank you for your time. P.S.: I searched the web, but I was not able to find the complete explanation of the "--fix-policy" switch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
