• Bug#266698: apt: Warns about Recommended packages of which a second alt

    From Jeroen van Wolffelaar@1:229/2 to All on Wed Aug 18 21:10:12 2004

    Package: apt
    Version: 0.5.26
    Severity: minor

    If a package has:

    Recommends: concrete-package | virtual-package

    and you have installed one of the packages providing virtual-package,
    but not concrete-package, you'll get this when installing this package:

    Recommended packages:
    concrete-package virtual-package

    which shouldn't be shown, just as it isn't shown if this happens with
    depends.


    Concrete example:
    postfix installed (providing mail-transport-agent), exim4 not installed:

    $ apt-get install uw-imapd
    (...)
    Recommended packages:
    exim4 mail-transport-agent
    (...)
    $
