Note that dropping it to a "Suggests" doesn't prevent it from being installed by other packages. If you install a GUI on the server then xauth should get installed as a dependency of the X server.
The goal is to mimic what was done in hardy, where recommends were not installed by default : the minimal and standard seeds then did not contain any X libraries. http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.hardy/minimal http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.hardy/standard Contrast that with the now-heavier minimal and standard seeds in intrepid: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.intrepid/minimal http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.intrepid/standard -- openssh-client could suggest xauth rather than recommend it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
