When speaking in terms of package managers, there's no practical

Found my problem there. I was using aptitude instead of apt-get when I
tried to install xdg-utils. I thought aptitude was just a newer version
of apt-get with some extra info, but apparently it does things like
treating recommended packages as mandatory unless you use -R. Now I'll
know better.... but it still seems to me like xdg-utils should be a
recommended package for gambas2-runtime and not a dependency.
