Bug Description

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

KPackageKit on KUbuntu Karmic shows only the required packages in its 'depends on' pane. While this is correct in a narrow sense, it would be really useful if there were a way to also show the suggested packages. This information can be seen in any other installation tool (e.g., aptitude), and can be quite important to a user.

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this feature request! Unfortunately, at this time Kubuntu does not have the developer manpower needed to implement and maintain many features at the Kubuntu level. This wish would best be reported and tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that it can be implemented by the Kpackagekit developers themselves. Once implemented in KPackagekit, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KPackagekit version the feature is implemented in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!

Changed in kpackagekit (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Wishlist
status: New → Won't Fix
