Package: tasksel, general Version: 1.25 Severity: normal If you pick the Spanish language task in tasksel, you will get mozilla and openoffice installed, which is often not the desired effect. This is because the spanish task, like many tasks, pulls in -ll packages like openoffice.org-l10n-es and mozilla-locale-es-es. These tend to be split out of huge software packages, and depend on them. So a user installing a web server in Spanish gets a ton of crap pulled in when they select the Spanish task. Solutions include: - Make the -ll packages only recommend the main packages, as the kde ones do. - Put the -ll packages in the tasks that install OOo and mozilla. But this is quite hard to maintain in tasksel. - Stop this translation splitting nonsense. -- see shy jo
