Why is it so hard to decline a "recommends" dependency?
In dselect (using the apt method), if I select a package A that recommends a package B, dselect switches to the dependency- resolution screen with package B selected. If I simply deselect B and exit normally (with Return), dselect returns to the dependency-resolution screen with B re-selected. If I type R to dselect B and exit normally, dselect also jumps right back in, with B re-selected. In can exit that dependency-resolution screen with my chosen selections if I exit using Q (R to deselect B and then Q to exit to the main screen). HOWEVER, as soon as I type Return to exit the main screen, dselect jumps back into the dependency-resolution scream, with B re-selected. AGH! I have declined the recommendation. WHY WON'T DESELECT JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! Why does dselect report the Recommends dependency again when you exit the main screen? Daniel -- Daniel Barclay [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Hmm.
