Then just install everything in recommends (which is actually the default unless you disabled the installation of recommends, which is your problem then) and be happy. You'll end up with some megabytes of libgraries, nothing that will do any harm unless you are out of diskspace. > It's maybe a different thing though, for very closely integrated things > like devrscripts,.. but even there it's quite annoying to find out which > needs what (and they have quite some good package description). Again, recommends are installed by default. If one of the plugins in the package does not work for you out of the box (and you have the recommended packages installed), file a bug. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
