Following the thread on apt defaulting to install recommends, I would like to turn this option off. A previous poster stated to add this line to the "/etc/apt/apt.conf" file: APT::Install-Recommends "0"; . I would love to do that but I am unable as yet to find a file named /etc/apt/apt.conf. I do however have one in the /usr/share/doc/apt/examples directory. I do have a directory /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ containing configuration fragments. I also can run apt-config dump and get a list of the configuration options that apt is currently using, but I haven't been able to find out where those options are being read from. In that list of options I have one stating "Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf", yet there is no apt.conf in /etc/apt. I have asked google repeatedly for any information pertaining to apt configuration, apt.conf, apt howto. Yet can find nothing on my MIA apt.conf. So, where exactly is apt-config dump reading these configuration options from? Thanks,
