Pebrot isn't packaged.  Centericq (now Centerim) is, but I'm guessing he's 
attempting to run it some other way too.

anyway, dependencies will never be recommended packages.  If a package is 
needed for it to run, it will be a Dependency rather than a recommended 
package.

FWIW, the packages listed as recommended packages for centerim are 
www-browser and sox.  This is why I turned downloading of recommended 
packages off, they just looked like they were going to put too much stuff 
I didn't want onto my system.  Not that I wouldn't want either of these, 
but I don't expect the installation of an IM client to pull in either of 
these.
