Bug#573273: libflite1: Abusive Recommends

[Fabian Greffrath <fabian@greffrath.com>]

Package: libflite1
Version: 1.3-release-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

Today a routine "aptitude safe-upgrade" wanted to install a whole bunch of new packages, including alsa-base, alsa-utils and linux-sound-base; all of which are package that I do not want on my system.

It turns out that this happened because the new version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad depends on libflite1. Please demote the alsa-base package to a Suggests.

Cheers,
Fabian
