this time it's docker, was: removing wslview from Ubuntu-only computers?

If you'd like to see what apt/apt-get will do without making changes to
the system, use the "-s" (for simulate) option with the action command
$ sudo apt -s install docker.io
Examine the output and if it looks ok with nothing being installed that
you don't expect to be installed, then remove the "-s" and run the
command again.
hi Keith, and thanks for the prompt answer.
I know about those apt options, but they would not answer enough my concerns.
First, because that apt -s commands yelds 31 lines of output, and if I knew
what on Earth all those package do and interact, I wouldn't need this thread
in the first place.
Second, and main: because the "vslview" thread showed very clearly that
in this period there can be unintended/undocumented consequences from
the evolving coexistence of multiple package managers, or how
"suggestions" are managed etc... no matter what one knows
That's why I am asking, I hope someone already went through this particular path and knows by actual experience what each choice REALLY does to one's system.
