(Remove the > package, the entire task breaks) You know, if apt could only support Reccommends, task packages could be a lot saner. Sure, it'd still be ugly if something they depended on went missing, but at least they'd still be usable. I think apt could support reccommends like this: * Automatically install all reccommended packages when installing/upgrading a package. * If a package that something reccommended was manually removed, don't re-install it next time a package that reccomends it is installed. Of course whether this is doable is up to Jason.. More later, my battery is dying. -- see shy jo
