The original problem of magnification not working has been fixed with Orca and gnome-mag. The debate auto-install of recommends is more of a policy issue than a bug. Marking Fixed. |

It's not a policy issue - why main debian/ubuntu package manager, aptitude, installs recommended packages as default, but synaptic doesn't ? Please don't close this bug until it will be really fixed in synaptic.
There is no need for discuss about instaling recommended packages by default - all needed info about recommends field is in Debian policy:
( http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-binarydeps ):
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this
one in *all* but unusual installations. |

description |
Installing gnopernicus with Synaptic should also mark gnome-mag for install.
Gnopernicus runs without gnome-mag, but the Magnifier feature fails silently (as
far as the GUI-user is concerned). Installing gnome-mag fixes the problem. |
Synaptic must automatically install packages, listed in Recommends field on install *and* upgrades in the default configuration, like aptitude.
Currently setting "Consider recommended packages as dependancies" is not enabled as default in synaptic, because of this synaptic does make Recommends field useless, since the users can't look at the dependencies of every depended package manually and see which recommendations may be missing...
It would be nice to have is an improved "Mark additional required changes window, coming up saying:
- "those dependes must be installed" (Depends)
- "those dependencies should be install" (Recommends) with a toggle-box, on by default
- "those can be installed" (Suggests) with a toggle box, off by default
What we have right now is just the window coming up with no selection feature for the user that marks the recommends just like depends. The user can't unmark (some) of them, etc. :(
There is very user-friendly implementation of installation recommended and suggested packages in stormpkg and deity package managers (which were orphaned for few years):
when user pressed "Install" button and "mark additional changes" dialog with list of packages (to be marked for installation) is displayed in stormpkg, this list contains not only depends, but also recommends and suggests and there is the ability to mark/unmark wanted ones. "Marked changes" list has 2 additional columns - one with checkbox and second with dependency type (depend, recommend or suggest). |
