    The following additional package will be installed: That could be dependencies. As of now your question stands unclear. Edit your question and include what are you trying to install, which additional packages will be installed, which Ubuntu are you using, etc.

Read the apt-get manpage:




   --no-install-recommends
Do not consider recommended packages as a dependency for installing. Configuration
Item: APT::Install-Recommends.



This works also with apt install.



This will only work for packages, that are not required by the package you are installing.
