Come one. Please implement this feature. Currently there is no easy and safe way to install dependent packages from CLI (dpkg is too dangerous).

If it is an easy job it would have been done already. It requires some deeper changes in apt.

I think this should be implement. If there is multiples deb packages that need to be install for example libreoffice, then it would be very labor intensive to install one by one. Sure, command can be use but this should not be only option for average user.
