Public bug reported: Binary package hint: aptitude
Aptitude 0.4.5.4 Upgrade from feisty minimal install to gutsy minimal install. Opened aptitude, turn off 'automatically install recommended packages', try to install ubuntu-desktop. The trouble starts here, aptitude is trying to install all the dependency packages as simple 'installs' rather than dependency installs (with the 'A' flag) and is pulling in all the recommends for everything. Makes no difference if the 'automatically install recommended packages' flag is on or off. Tried deleting .aptitude, no change.
