@Felipe: You can do this quite easy by adding an entry in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ directory.
Make a new file in there, e.g. sudo gedit 99recommends And paste APT::Install-Recommends “true"; into it. Go to Synaptic in Preference and just check if "consider recommendations as dependencies" is active, if not, check the box active. Then go >Synaptic >Settings >Filters, Make a new one e.g. "Missing recommends" Uncheck all boxes, only check the line "broken policy" (which means the apt policy in the config files) Reload package information (I guess it is not explicitly necessary). And with "Search filters" you have the Filter Missing Recommends. E.g., if you select abiword-gnome, it will automatically set abiword- gnome-plugins for install, which is only a recommend not a dependency. Ok, that all did not answer your questions if this configurations gets automatically backported for hardy. ;-) Regards, -- Enable auto-install of packages in recommends field by default, like in aptitude https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
