Yes, this seems a case where "no recommends" bites you and causes problems. I have *never* used that setting, because I thought it could cause obscure problems, and it seems I'm right.
Yeah, during installation I have never used it either. I don't even know where it is :-) I do have a lengthy list of stuff I deselect though. I wish I could just load it, or better yet, specify a list to linuxrc.
True. I have a paper with things to remove and things to add. Automation would be nice.
When I update production systems, I virtually always use --no-recommends, sometimes after quickly checking what might have been installed (with it).
I don't risk it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
