Too bad that aptitude does not ask something like "Package quagga recommends 'kernel-image-2.4' which is provided by the following packages, please decide if you want to install one or more of them:". With the current situation I can only remove the Recommends line as there is no way to depend on the *right* real package when it comes to kernel-images. Therefore I also clone this report as a wishlist bug against aptitude. bye, -christian-
