Certainly I would say that most people would not expect this to be the case.\r\n\r\nBut that issue aside, it is a problem for meta-packages which *only* consist of dependencies.  If I do `conda install -f jupyter` then I want to force-install all the dependency packages specified the jupyter meta-package.  More than \"I want\", in fact \"I expect\" that is what will happen.  But it doesn't.  And I would suggest that the average user is not going to pick up on the visual hints that force-install of meta-packages do not install the dependencies.  They will just be confused that it hasn't happened or oblivious that it hasn't happened."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/conda/conda/issues/comments/229842455","html_url":"https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/1878#issuecomment-229842455","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/conda/conda/issues/1878","id":229842455,"user":{"login":"mcg1969","id":2797735,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2797735?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969","html_url":"https://github.com/mcg1969","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mcg1969/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-07-01T02:56:34Z","updated_at":"2016-07-01T02:56:34Z","body":"@robintw, perhaps you might want to weigh in on #2928.
