How can I view the list of packages that were "suggested" by apt?
12,639
Here are a couple additional options:
apt-cache depends <package_name>
will give you dependency info about a package (installed or not) including Suggests.apt-rdepends -s Suggests <package_name>
will list the Suggests for a package and its dependencies. Theapt-rdepends
command is provided by its own package, apt-ly namedapt-rdepends
(forgive the pun).

apt-get install package
