By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description David Hare 2011-12-01 19:07:14 CST 
soundkonverter-trinity recommends: cdda2wav, timidity

1. cdda2wav is no longer in Squeeze repos, it is replaced by "icedax"

 E: Package 'cdda2wav' has no installation candidate

2. Timidity causes a running daemon to be installed and also freepats, a 35MB download. 

They are for midi synthesis, although soundkonverter may be used with them, it's main purpose is cdripping and sound conversion. Unless a user actually needs them, they are bloat so should be no more than "suggests"
Comment 1 Michele Calgaro 2018-07-28 04:10:30 CDT 
Perhaps better to move timidity to Suggests instead of recommend.
As a side note to this bug, a review of which recommended/suggested package is no longer available would be good, control files could be simplified a bit.
Comment 2 Michele Calgaro 2018-08-29 06:14:22 CDT 
Fixed in commit 5c93a55ba (R14.1) and 76f2defb5 (R14.0).
