Hi, Loïc Minier wrote: I think you misunderstood the importance of Recommends: The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations. Aha..! Well, I never read what Recommends means, I have just trusted apt-get as usual. (I trusted that it would give me any dependency I need to run the packages I wanted to install.) I filed bugs against dselect and synaptic already because they didn't honor recommends in the default configuration on installs or upgrades. How can I configure it to install Recommends: packages automatically? -- Grtjs, Manuel PS: MSX FOR EVER! (Questions? http://faq.msxnet.org/ ) PPS: Visit my homepage at http://manuel.msxnet.org/

I used apt-get in this case, but I don't remember ever installing alsa-base specifically. Still, I wouldn't expect missing functionality like this (which seems quite basic), when not installing a Recommends: package. But then again, I'm not sure how it can be fixed if you can't let it depend on it. -- Grtjs, Manuel PS: MSX FOR EVER!

FYI, apt-get is not meant to be an end-user / day-to-day package manager, but I do agree that it is a bug in apt-get. > Still, I wouldn't expect missing functionality like this (which seems > quite basic), when not installing a Recommends: package.

I think you misunderstood the importance of Recommends: Recommends This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency. The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations. (Debian Policy 7.2) I filed bugs against dselect and synaptic already because they didn't honor recommends in the default configuration on installs or upgrades.

Yes, see the other communication we had. The volume-control didn't work without it. In summary, since the switch to ALSA your volume levels aren't saved anymore?
