Marking as incomplete until a consensus is reached. According to the Debian Policy Manual:
This [Recommends] 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. Source: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch- relationships.html#s-binarydeps Packages should avoid dependencies unless they are essential for installing/running the application. During last October, Debian changed APT's policy to treat recommends as dependencies for installation. Ubuntu Intrepid followed on this policy in May. Note that APT will not complain about unsatisfied recommends on your system and will make no attempt to install them if they are missing. The new policy does not affect previous Ubuntu releases, including 8.04. If your system does not install recommends by default for newly installed packages, please check your settings and file a bug if necessary. ** Changed in: lyx (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete -- \cdot and \times appear the same in equations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
