Yes, recommends == dependancies is the default. Personally I found this
default to be a mistake back when people still suggested you use dselect.
But of course none of this has anything to do with virt-manager
development. :)

Thanks for the quick replies. As I was composing my defect report I
discovered the only defect was with me! I had Synaptic set to treat
"recommends" packages as dependencies. First time I've been burned by that
in 2 years.... Once I changed that setting, indeed virt-manager installed
easy with only a small handful of other packages and ran perfectly.

I would like to run virt-manager on a number of Ubuntu 9.04 desktop boxes
to manage virtual machines I have running on an Ubuntu Server box.
However, when I select virt-manager for installation in the repo's it
indirectly selects kvm as a dependency. However I do not need nor want kvm
on these client workstations as all my virtual machines are on the server.
Installing KVM on the client workstations loads the intel-kvm kernel module
which interferes with other software running on these machines.
Does virt-manager really require KVM to be running locally? Is there a
way to get virt-manager up and running without KVM?
