If I want to install a package and its Suggests dependencies, I run:$ sudo apt-get --install-suggests install <package name>However, if <package name> is already installed, and not all Suggests dependencies are installed, 'nothing' happens... those remaining dependencies remain uninstalled. Is there a solution for this, beyond writing code?
How to install Suggests dependencies of a package
apt;dependencies
You can accomplish this using the advanced searching features of aptitude. The following will install packages suggested by network-manager:aptitude install '~Rsuggests:^network-manager$'From the aptitude HTML documentation:?reverse-depType(pattern), ~R[depType:]patterndepType may be either provides or one of the dependency types given  in the documentation of ?broken-depType. If depType is not present, it  defaults to depends.If depType is provides, matches packages whose name is provided by a  package version matching pattern. Otherwise, matches packages which a  package version matching pattern declares a dependency of type depType  upon.
