I would also point out not only is the recursive interpretation of --install-suggests incorrect, it is internally inconsistent.
apt-get --dry-run remove --purge -o APT::AutoRemove::Suggests- Important=0 --auto-remove geda geda-utils geda-examples kicad kicad-doc- en librecad oregano qelectrotech xcircuit gerbv pcb pcb-gtk pcb-common pcb-rnd pcb2gcode visolate caneda fritzing Does not appear to recurse. Neither does substituting "autoremove" for "purge" or trying to remove suggests on "clang" the same way. --install-suggests and install-recommends should default to a recursion level of 1 and allow you to specify a greater level of recursion in the unlikely event you desire. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
