This Recommends/Depends thing was to clear up a bug in Debian #505636. The original patch send to the Debian devs by the Ubuntu dev Kees Cook had libnet-smtp-ssl-perl as Depends and libauthen-sasl-perl as recommends. The Debian dev decided having both under recommends was sufficient to close the bug.
In the last debdiff I moved the one package to Depends to reflect the Ubuntu dev's wishes. However, my thoughts are that we should stick with how the Debian dev decided to implement it. Here is the new debdiff. ** Attachment added: "git-core_1.6.0.6-1ubuntu1.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21482087/git-core_1.6.0.6-1ubuntu1.debdiff -- Please upgrade git-core to git-core-1.6.0.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319096 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
