Bug#738326: live-build installs extra packages (suggests or based on source package instead of binary)
Package: live-build
Version: 3.0.5-1
Severity: normal
live-build is adding gnuplot to my images even though no package in Depends or Recommends for gnuplot is in package-lists nor is even being installed via apt-get.
These Depends: on gnuplot
battery-stats
collectl-utils
guasssum
gretl
libraphics-gnuplitif-perl
libsvm-tools
plotdrop
python-gnuplot
ruby-gnuplot
splat
tsung
wims
yacas
yade
These Recommends: gnuplot
adun.app
education-mathematics
fityk
funkload
gcx
gpsprune
rheolef
science-nanoscale-physics
science-viewing
tablix
However not only are none of the packages in any of my lists, not one of them end up in my image. Nor is gnuplot in any of my lists. Therefore gnuplot is being pulled in incorrectly.
I am installing
amanda-client
which Suggests: gnuplot
The other possibility is that occurs to me is that I may have a package in my image who's *source* package has a package that Depends: or Recommends: gnuplot.
In any event the current behaviour is wrong, as I do not specify gnuplot and *no* package that *ought* to be pulling in gnuplot is in my image. I even purged the cached in case the issue was a bug that pulled in packages if they were previously downloaded. Same issue.
