(Get well soon!) Before too many people get annoyed with this, let me quickly clarify that I forgot the "B" qualifier in the search pattern that I proposed initially. If you want to find missing recommendations which are not satisfied by any installed package, it is better to use !~i~RBrecommends:~i as the search pattern. Using "B" also leads to the expected result for the dependencies: $ aptitude search '!~i~RB~i' | wc -l 0 -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian |
