I've spotted the bug because on all the Debian machines I administer (especially servers), I explicitly disable the installation of Suggests and Recommends. After installing SYMPA in a fresh Debian, I wondered why listmanager failed to start. I had to trace the daemon to understand the problem. Hence SYMPA is not fully usable if Recommends are disabled. I think that it's not reasonable. What do you think?
