Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14+b1
Severity: important

$ apt-get dist-upgrade
...
The following NEW packages will be installed
  xli xscreensaver
^C

Why is xscreensaver going to be installed?

$ aptitude why xscreensaver
i   xscreensaver-gl-extra Recommends xscreensaver

I see. But why then, are Recommendations made by other packages not
followed? For instance, I have evolution installed which Recommends
bogofilter. But I don't see apt offering to install it on a
dist-upgrade.

Hello Sam.

As you haven't provided debug info and don't answered to Daniel's message, I
failed to see bug in apt. Thus, I'm closing the bug. Reopen if you have more
info about this.
