Hello, 2012年5月14日 Eugene V. Lyubimkin <jackyf@debian.org>: > This. Manuel, you probably switched installing Recommends off which is > not a good idea since Recommends is for "all but unusual installations". > So, install the 'libcupt2-0-downloadmethod-curl' package, which should > have been installed by default. OK, thanks for the fix. > 2) one can, as you just said, write a custom download method; > 3) finally, on some embedded system you can in theory install download > methods, download some unchangeable suite's cache, remove Cupt download > methods (along with wget/libcurl) and they play with repository analysis > and simulations. Apart from acknowledging that it's my fault, I've been using all of my systems with Recommends off by default for many years, without major hiccups. I honestly don't think that the number of people switching it off is less than the ones writing downloading methods by hand... not even for cupt, but for any other packaging tool in Debian. And I guess that you can use "provides"/virtual packages for the case that you mention. If somebody is going to the trouble of writing such a method, creating a virtual package is a minor issue. Cheers.
