Timidity recommends freepats, but doesn't work without it.
/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg only contains 'source /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg'.

If I use the older config file from earlier packages, it works:

If you so choose to ignore a package "Recommends:" header, it is your
problem, not the package's.  In this case, you must configure it
accordingly to your wishes of working without freepats.

If you didn't even KNOW you were supposed to also install freepats, and you
are using apt-get, please switch to Synaptic or Aptitude (or even dselect).
These will handle Recommends in a much saner way for the end-user.

Bug closed.  The package is correct, and I am *not* turning that Recommends
to a Depends, ever.
