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

Thanks,

Chris

If you use the "GUI", there is an option to change the way
dependencies/recommends are handled.

Also, if you use the command line, there's an option:
--with(out)-recommends - - - Specify whether or not to treat
recommends as strong dependencies
