Aptitude on my current almost vanilla temporary Jessie install doesn't install recommends. But it makes a big point of telling me a) that they are recommended and b) that they are not going to be installed. I then often, but not always, install them. It doesn't strike me as a bug. This is Debian not Ubuntu. I could, of course, reset aptitude. I am quite happy with the status quo. > Not installing a suggested package isn't. Lisi
