How to reinstall a given pkg and all it's deps & recommends ?

hi, is it possible to start pulseaudio on headless machine without [pulseaudio] client-conf-x11.c: xcb_connection_has_error() returned true ? my google-fu fails on this and pulseaudio channel is dead at this time :)

Tried something like apt-get install reinstall pkgA pkgB `apt-cache depends pkgA pkgB` but it wont work, getting errors about "Depends and Recommends not found"

apt-get refers to depends/recommends words in apt-cache listing output

awal1: look at the output of apt-cache depends. you can't just feed that to apt-get install, you have to format it. knowing awk comes in handy sometimes. apt-cache depends | awk '{if (/^ Depends: /) printf "%s ", $2}'

but i would be careful with that.

look at the output and select manually what you really want to reinstall.

awal1: why do you think reinstalling all of these packages is needed? Normally it is not.
