Hey ho - sorry to bug you :) Any ETA on a fix for this? (Maybe a patch I
could .. erm .. "test"? ;)

I'm trying to install kdebase-crypto, and it wants to suck down 758M(404
packages) of stuff... If I disable suggests/recommends installing, it
wants to remove a whole bunch of stuff.

I recently had to do a rebuild, and I've been using nothing but Aptitude
since I got it installed - I'm -><- close to just using 'apt-get install
kdebase-crypto' and then going into aptitude and unmarking them as ready
for deletion :)
