The claim that it does what it says it does is false. What it, in fact does, is consider suggested packages of OTHER packages as a dependency for installing. This recursive behavior is not advertised and not acceptable. For that behavior, one should have to use an option such as --install-suggests-recursive and not --install- suggests.
There is an enormous difference between installing the packages suggested by the package geda and installing the packages suggested many levels deep. Even without a defective suggests list, this would not be expected or desired behavior. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828220 Title: apt-get --install-suggests applied recursively To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1828220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
