I don't want to be bothered by people requesting this or that package all the time, so I simply install everything that's of priority <extra.
Or, alternately, I allow "apt-get install --assume-yes" of these packages by $COMMON_USER, as Policy states that there shall be no conflicts. That breaks when non-extra packages can conflict with each other. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
