Public bug reported: For a vast majority of use cases, apt-get install mongodb is used to install mongodb. Ubuntu defaults to install recommends. This causes mongodb-dev to be installed, including a rather large dependency tree with compilers and boost-dev.
I humbly request that mongodb-dev be moved from Recommends to Suggests for the mongodb package. ** Affects: mongodb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607821 Title: mongodb package recommends mongodb-dev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mongodb/+bug/1607821/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
