Aren't some of these recommended packages only alternatives? Are you sure they will really be installed if run --with-recommends? For example: > esound-clients *exim* exim4 *exim4-daemon-heavy* *exim4-daemon-light* fam > gcc Which package recommends exim4-daemon-heavy? $ grep-aptavail -nsPackage -FRecommends exim4-daemon-heavy education-main-server Can't be that one, because it's not in the desktop task. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
