I thought one of the features of APT (and maybe YAIM as well?) was that
it could automatically work out dependencies and then install these
(provided they didn't result in conflicts), rather than leaving it to
the user to do this manually. Am I confused about this?
Shouldn't it be possible to insert an option into apt.conf or on the
command lint to apt-get which tells APT "install all dependencies"?
Cheers,
Ian
