I think it's also particularly annoying for our two major recommended package installation interfaces, aptitude and apt-get, to do the opposite thing by default with this core of a feature. What a recipe for confusion for the average user who doesn't know the history and doesn't choose them based on their Recommends-handling behavior! We shouldn't be substituting tool selection for configuration. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
