Hello,

sudo aptitude full-upgrade --with-recommends
can anyone tell me why it still reports (for example):
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
libjaxp1.3-java-gcj libxalan2-java-gcj
The aptitude manual says:
-r, --with-recommends
Treat recommendations as dependencies when installing new packages
Note the *new* here. Recommendations for existing packages are _not_
automatically installed, since aptitude presumes that you do not want
that; after all you did not install the recommended packages in
previous installs of your package.
Of course this can be a problem since the recommendations may change
over time. This is probably what happened here.

That at least explains the behavior, and makes sense I guess. But I'd
actually like it to really install all "recommends", for all packages I have
installed.
Thanks!
