Debian
Revision as of 13:03, 15 February 2011 by 192.168.10.5 (talk)
In debian install-recommends defaults to "true", which means that you will get all sorts of unnecessary extra packages when installing software
Check the settins with apt-config dump
To circumvent this, put this in a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
APT::Install-Recommends "false";
Debian 6 & postgresql
In debian 6.0 psql is linked to the lesser developed libedit instead of libreadline, see this.
It can be bypassed by launching psql like this:
LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libreadline.so.6 psql
