Help on 'recommends'                                            Feta 1.4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Debian, packages can 'recommend' other packages. Recommended packages
are generally not installed with the package, but are useful to have
around. They are not required, but might add features that some users find
useful, or provide functionality that is "standard" in other GNU/Linux
distributions, but not in Debian (for example, Feta itself recommends
several programs that add more commands, but Feta works fine without
them).

EXAMPLES
--------
To install the packages that 'sylpheed' recommends:
 # feta recommends sylpheed

OTHER REFERENCES
----------------
There is another, slightly "weaker" recommendation, called a suggestion.
Feta has a 'suggests' command as well. Recommended packages are shown
in the 'Recommends:' line of the 'info' command's output.
