It's not a policy issue - why main debian/ubuntu package manager, aptitude, installs recommended packages as default, but synaptic doesn't ? Please don't close this bug until it will be really fixed in synaptic. There is no need for discuss about instaling recommended packages by default - all needed info about recommends field is in Debian policy: ( http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-binarydeps ): The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in *all* but unusual installations. ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed ** Also affects: synaptic (Baltix) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- enable auto-install of recommends by default 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
