 Which is exactly what I said: there's a package that you had already

Would I be correct in assuming that you originally installed aptitude
/without/ Recommends, and installed synaptic /with/ Recommends?
AFAIK, APT makes no attempt to track that difference.


i always use apt or apt-get in early debian distro to install/remove  packagesapt doesn't allow me to choose whether to install Recommended (Suggested?) packages
i install aptitude only after you tell me to run "aptitude why packageName"
