Thanks for the above tip.

Can I do something like the following using your above filters?

sudo apt rdepends <package-name> --no-recommends
sudo apt rdepends <package-name> --no-suggests

I think you're being modest. You know so much more than me.

My knowledge of computing, Linux and Debian is elementary and hence I won't know how to set up a cron-apt or use apticron.

Question: Is it a prerequisite (pre-condition) that to set up a cron job to download updates at a fixed time every day, the OS must have the installed package "unattended-upgrades"?
