Package: apt

Severity: wishlist

Maybe add switches to apt-get install, to also pull in Suggests and Recommends...

fixed 230295 0.7.0
thanks

apt 0.7.0 installs recommended packages by default, and supports
--no-install-recommends/--install-recommends to override the configured
behaviour.

There's also now configuration file options you can put in /etc/apt/apt.conf
for controlling installation of suggested/recommended packages:

APT::Install-Recommends "true";
APT::Install-Suggests "true";

And you can override these on the command line, so the requested --suggests
command line option can be achieved like so:

apt-get -oAPT::Install-Suggests=true install foo

So everything asked for in this bug has since been implemented, so closing.

Cheers,
    Olly
