Title:
apt-get install --reinstall --install-recommends ... doesn't install
Recommends
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:

Status in apt package in Debian:

Bug description:
apt-cache policy apt
apt:
Installed: 1.6~beta1
Candidate: 1.6~beta1
Version table:
*** 1.6~beta1 500

Whilst trying to use virt-manager it reported requiring additional packages
to run the SpiceClientGTK, which are Recommends of virt-manager.
System is configured with:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05-no-install-recommends:APT::Install-Recommends
"false";
I did:
apt-get install --reinstall --install-recommends
but the Recommends are not installed. It seems that "--install-
recommends" is silently ignored.
apt-get remove virt-manager && apt-get install --install-recommends
virt-manager
works.
There's one of two bugs here, either:
1. should not ignore --install-recommends
2. should report it is ignoring --install-recommends
