Title: Dependencies of dependencies... don't install dependencies!
Post by: vinnie on October 09, 2009, 11:10:53 AM

in the case of geany or xfe when installing first the locales the package manager  also install the program but not its dependencies!
example:   geany without gtk

The geany-locales extension has the dep file only installing geany.  I will fix it.  It is not an issue with the package manager.  Same with xfe.

EDIT: Fixed.

Dependency resolution is not recursive, that is it does not fetch deps of deps, just the deps listed in the dep files.  That keeps the process faster and simpler.
