Possible to install a package with only what it depends on and nothing else?

[greg2lapa]

If I try to install the package "unity" from a minimal ubuntu install (i.e., from a terminal) it includes a lot of scopes and other stuff that aren't dependencies.

If I run
apt-cache depends unity I can see what the dependencies are. Is there a way to install unity with only these dependencies and nothing more?

Hi greg2lapa.

Try using the '--no-install-recommends' options. For example:

sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install unity
Hope it helps. Let us know how it goes.
