Status: Open => Answered
Alkis Georgopoulos proposed the following answer:
> Why wouldn't socat be installed with epoptes by default?
epoptes Recommends epoptes-client
epoptes-client Depends on socat
http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_petra_cinnamon_whatsnew.php
==> "APT "recommends" disabled by default."
So when you install epoptes in Linux Mint, epoptes-client doesn't get
installed, and so you lose some features.
To solve it, install epoptes-client.
To help others, file a bug report against Linux Mint, and tell them that Debian
Policy states (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html):
"The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with
this one in all but unusual installations."
...and that's why Recommends should be enabled by default, as it is in
Ubuntu and in Debian.
