there's no conflicts, i try to setup a live build using backports and not using exim4 as default MTA
but seems the "--apt-recommends false" dont work or there's too many packages that claims exim4 over others in my package list there's no exim4 mention and i manually write "courier-mta" in that package list my lb command included that: --apt-recommends false --apt-secure false --apt-options "--yes -oAcquire::Check-Valid-Until=false -oAcquire::Languages=none" the complete command was: lb config \ --mode debian \ --system live \ --interactive shell \ --distribution jessie \ --debian-installer live --debian-installer-gui true \ --architecture i386 \ --archive-areas "main contrib non-free" \ --security true --updates true --backports true \ --linux-flavours "586" \ --linux-packages "linux-image linux-headers" \ --firmware-binary false --firmware-chroot true \ --apt-recommends false --apt-secure false --apt-options "--yes -oAcquire::Check-Valid-Until=false -oAcquire::Languages=none" \ --checksums none \ --binary-images iso-hybrid \ --memtest memtest86+ \ --win32-loader false \ --verbose Lenz McKAY Gerardo (PICCORO) http://qgqlochekone.blogspot.com 2018-07-06 9:35 GMT-04:00 Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org>: > Control: severity -1 minor > > On Fri, 2018-07-06 at 08:59 -0400, PICCORO McKAY Lenz wrote: >> pufff you dont understand! i called with "--apt-recommends false" >> Lenz McKAY Gerardo (PICCORO) >> http://qgqlochekone.blogspot.com > > Then the problem is not with "recommends", given they are not > installed. > > What is _exactly_ the problem, and how do you reproduce it?
