Some time back the policy changed to install by default the "recommended" ones. So I had to include in my setting: APT::Install-Recommends "false"; I'm not sure if that would help you. Also I would turn off "suggested" packages if you have them turned on (they are not by default), like: APT::Install-Suggests "false"; Perhaps you could try those and see what happens, :-) It might this is not related to your problem, but if you know what you're doing, it'd be worth giving it a try... -- Javier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
