Thanks Andrei! I'm an "aptitude" user most of the time, so I didn't
know about that feature of apt.
Is there a similar option for aptitude that I've overlooked?

because they weren't available when their "recommender" packages were
being installed. I don't have the problem, myself, so I haven't
worked out the magic, but I'd start by reading up on the search
syntax
for aptitude. Then sort(1) and comm(1) will be useful. I'd guess.
apt-get install --fix-policy --install-recommends
Kind regards,
Andrei
