IMHO the output should be Missing RECOMMENDED packages: * E * F * G Missing REQUIRED packages: * A * B * C so that the real errors and are immediately above the command prompt; if you have a largish list of missing (recommended) packages, you would otherwise have to scroll back to see the real errors. -- Hannes
