Found my problem there. I was using aptitude instead of apt-get when I tried to install xdg-utils. I thought aptitude was just a newer version of apt-get with some extra info, but apparently it does things like treating recommended packages as mandatory unless you use -R. Now I'll know better.... but it still seems to me like xdg-utils should be a recommended package for gambas2-runtime and not a dependency.
