Why doesn't aptitude warn on removing recommended packages?
Dear List,
Today I busted my dm-crypted Debian Testing installation by removing
busybox and upgrading the kernel, which led to corrupted initramfs
that doesn't include busybox [1].
The problem I want to say is that busybox is `recommended' by
initramfs-tools, but when I tried to remove it aptitude didn't issue a
single warning. I'm not sure whether this is a good behavior, but at
least I want to configure my aptitude so that it warns me when I'm
trying to remove a recommended package. Any option is there to achieve
this?
Thank you in advance.
