That's fair enough - it's your call on your own systems, of course. But could you *please* at least in future check for missing recommends that might be causing issues before mailing debian-user to complain about them? It's easy enough to do, and saves wasting the time of everybody on the list when there's an obvious solution... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "We're the technical experts.
