planetpenguin-racer-extras does not have planetpenguin-racer as a dependency

Asked by Daryl Lublink

The package planetpenguin-racer-extras should have the package planetpenguin-racer as a dependency. How can a user install extras for a game that is not installed?

Description: Additional courses for PlanetPenguin Racer
 This package contains over fourty extra courses for the game PlanetPenguin
 Racer.
 .
 If you install this package, startup time of "ppracer" might lengthen a bit
 (mainly depending on your harddisc speed). But I'm sure you will find it
 worth to wait a bit longer ;)

Description: another 3D racing game featuring Tux, the Linux penguin
 PlanetPenguin Racer, or ppracer as it is called for short, is a simple OpenGL
 racing game featuring Tux, the Linux mascot. The goal of the game is to slide
 down a snow- and ice-covered mountain as quickly as possible, avoiding the
 trees and rocks that will slow you down.
 .
 Collect herrings and other goodies while sliding down the hill, but avoid fish
 bones.
 .
 This game is based on the GPL version of the famous game TuxRacer.
 .
 You should have working 3D acceleration for your X or this game will run quite
 slow.
