sometimes when installing a package, aptitude recommends several other packages.
Is there a way to show all previous recommended packages of all installed packages?
Thanks in advance.

Edit:
Thanks for the replys so far. I already tried:
aptitude show ~i | grep '^Recommends' | cut -d ' ' -f 2-
Thats mostly ok. But it gives also things back like:
console-setup | console-data (>= 2002.12.04dbs-1)
I want an easy way, to install all missing recommended packages.
So
aptitude install console-setup | console-data (>= 2002.12.04dbs-1)
won't work ;-)
Is there a way, without manual checking all entries, to do this?
