Some time back the policy changed to install by default the
"recommended" ones. So I had to include in my setting:
APT::Install-Recommends "false";
I'm not sure if that would help you. Also I would turn off
"suggested" packages if you have them turned on (they are not by
default), like:
APT::Install-Suggests "false";
Perhaps you could try those and see what happens, :-) It might this
is not related to your problem, but if you know what you're doing,
it'd be worth giving it a try...
