Bug Description

Binary package hint: aptitude

Hi I recently did a fresh install of ubuntu-server-6.06.1.
I did aptitude install postfix, aptitude trys to install emacs on the server.

A user on #ubuntu pointed me to the "Install Recommended packages automaticaly" option. This fixed my problem.

All Ubuntu package managers are going towards installing reccomended packages by default.

I'd lean towards this being a bug with postfix, I don't think an mta should reccomend every mua we have in the archive, though I'm not sure how the debian policy works out on that.

Oops, I misunderstood mail-reader - it only installs one mua. Which I think it should.
