Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.3-1
Severity: normal

I may just be doing something stupid, but if I am, I can't figure out what
it is... when I aptitude upgrade -D, I get:

The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
  fam (R: libgnomevfs2-0, R: nautilus, S: kdelibs4c2a) libarts1-akode (R: 
libarts1c2a)

Well, why won't they?  The manual page doesn't say so, but the manual in
/usr/share/doc confirms that installing Recommended packages is the default.
I don't have anything affecting this option in configuration files (if I go
into the aptitude GUI, Recommends-Important shows up as true in the
preferences).  None of the verbose or debug options I could found provided
any clue why these packages were not being installed.

I'm not very comfortable navigating the aptitude GUI, but as far as I can
tell, hitting upgrade there didn't install them either.
