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.
