--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.1.3-3 Severity: wishlist aptitude should have a flag to upgrade all the recommends/suggests of the package, when the package is upgraded. For example to upgrade texlive, I would like to just do this: $ aptitude install --update-all-deps texlive-full And it should update all the installed depends, recommended, and suggested dependencies of the package (if possible). Perhaps this should be the default for metapackages. Currently I have to open synaptic, search for texlive, select each package and click upgrade. Aptitude would only update texlive-full package, and not its dependencies. Yes, the dependencies are not strict, but I would still like to upgrade all packages when I upgrade a metapackage, upgrading only the metapackage doesn't make much sense. Also there should be a flag to install all recommends of an already installed package, similar to --with-recommends but for already installed packages. -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.6.1.3 compiled at Nov 20 2009 19:56:21 Compiler: g++ 4.3.4 Compiled against: apt version 4.8.1 NCurses version 5.7 libsigc++ version: 2.0.18 Ept support enabled.

It happens to many people, it's not immediately obvious that patterns even exist -- maybe we should do something to highlight this feature, which is one of the most useful/novel ones that aptitude puts forth. There are several requests to include more info in the man page, maybe we can start with that. > This bug can be closed. OK, will close now, thanks for the prompt reply! -- Manuel A.
