Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.1.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Another blurry bug report about a blurry subject. Sorry.
We see some inconsistencies
$ strings `which aptitude`|grep Recomm
Apt::Install-Recommends
Apt::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant
aptitude::Keep-Recommends
APT::Install-Recommends
aptitude::Ignore-Recommends-Important
aptitude::Recommends-Important
$ man aptitude|col -b|grep Recomm
This corresponds to the pair of configuration options
Apt::Install-Recommends and
Apt::AutoRemove::InstallRecommends.
This corresponds to the configuration option Apt::Install-Recommends
Also big R has two -o's, but little r has only one:
-R, --without-recommends
Do not treat recommendations as dependencies when installing new
packages (this overrides settings in
/etc/apt/apt.conf and ~/.aptitude/config). Packages previously
installed due to recommendations will not be
removed.
This corresponds to the pair of configuration options
Apt::Install-Recommends and
Apt::AutoRemove::InstallRecommends.
-r, --with-recommends
Treat recommendations as dependencies when installing new packages
(this overrides settings in
/etc/apt/apt.conf and ~/.aptitude/config).
This corresponds to the configuration option Apt::Install-Recommends
Also e.g., for Apt::AutoRemove::InstallRecommends one cannot tell if -R
means setting it to false or true.
Anyway, After update; but before full-upgrade
$ aptitude why iso-codes
i apt-listchanges Depends python-apt
i A python-apt Recommends iso-codes
After full-upgrade
i midori Depends libwebkit-1.0-2 (>= 1.1.15)
i A libwebkit-1.0-2 Depends libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 (>=
0.10.16)
i A libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 Depends iso-codes
So one needs to upgrade to see the real why...
