Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lmms
LMMS is included in the Ubuntu Studio install disks and the 'recommends'
status of lmms-vst forces the install procedure to be connected to the
internet to successfully install ttf-mscorefonts-installer (through the
dependency of wine). This caused many failed installs during the Karmic
cycle.
The cleanest fix for this is to turn lmms-vst to a 'suggests' rather
than a 'recommends'. This will not install the vst capabilities by
default, but those looking for VST (proprietary plugin format)
functionality will easily be able to install the extra package.
Furthermore this will encourage people to embrace the open ladspa and
dssi plugin formats. No VST plugins are available from the ubuntu
repositories, so there is minimal argument for keeping this feature as a
'recommends'.
