Maybe it has something to do with this:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=19408.0

The behaviour was modified shortly after it's introduction as the -R and -S options installed everything but the kitchen sink (January 2016). Review the last few posts of linked thread, you gave a +1

Maybe the behaviour needs to be reverted so -R and -S truly mean all recommended and all suggested. Otherwise it's not really clear what is actually being installed. If the user doesn't want all recommended, they should be responsible for searching the Debian/Ubuntu packages website and not use the -RS options.

Thanks nitram for pointing out that previous thread, but I see that either with or without the -R option, importing this package resultes in an SCE with 114 packages within.  So it appears there is a bug preventing the -R option from working as expected.  I will try to fix it to where the -R option imports the recommends of the main package name of the SCE or for the entries in a file list.

The initial bug report and the mention of the thread where the -R behavior was adjusted helped to quickly pinpoint the issue.  The -R and -S options had a bug which is fixed.  In the new RC.

works now
