How should APT detect if it is installed on a server? It simply can't (what is a server after all)
So if you want that to happen, reassign it to a metapackage and ship a config file in it. But please report incorrect recommends against the package in question! A recommends is nearly as important as a depends - recommends are installed on ALL but unusual system (as debian policy puts it). So if your system isn't an unusual system (which a server is not, unusual is an embedded device like my phone) the recommends are wrong and should be Suggests instead (or in terms of plugins Enhances: on their side of the dependency tree). -- wish: APT::Install-Recommends "false" in server install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316472 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
