Thanks for your report. The missing packages are recommended. They are only recommended since the non-GUI functionality of the package does work without these packages. Whether these should be recommends or dependencies is a valid question, and as far as I can see both choices would be reasonable maintainer[1] choices in this case. cu Adrian [1] I am not the maintainer of slic3r -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
