It will do, but only because the package has got no recommended and no
suggested dependencies, https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/tshark .
Assumed the OP want's to install _"ALL"_ dependencies of another
package, e.g. for https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/synaptic , then a
simple "aptitude install tshark" or "apt-get install tshark" won't do
the trick.
FWIW the package I mentioned, Synaptic, is a nice GUI to install
packages, that e.g. provides an option to automatically install
recommended packages, by only checking a box and it also provides to
show and manually check all recommended and suggested packages, if you
click a package. You anyway should learn to read --help and manual
pages, sometimes it's a little bit tricky for a newbie, but after a
while you will be able to understand --help and manual pages without
much effort.
