> Is there any way to list recommended packages for a given package? Hello Emiliano, # apt-rdepends -s Recommends -s Suggests <package> will return a list of all dependencies, recommends and suggests of the selected package (recursive: with all their respective dependencies, recommends and suggests as well). Of course you can use the command with only one "-s" to show only the recommended resp. suggested packages (or without to get only the recursive dependency list). As I have recommends and suggests disabled in my apt preferences, for packages I am going to install I just run # apt-get install <package> and cancel the operation to append any useful recommended or suggested packages I find listed in the output. Alternatively you can use the "-s" or "--simulate" option to do an apt-get "dry-run". I believe apt-get won't list already installed recommends / suggests.
