How to install all dependencies?

Hey,
1st:
well done!
2nd - the problem
For example i want to install Firefox. Firefox needs additional libraries, but notroot does not get them automatically... see the below history. I can do it by hand but it seems that task can be automated...

 $ notroot install firefox
 Installing firefox from apt...
 Get:1 http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt Mirrorlist [1511 B]
 Get:2 http://mirror.kamp.de/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 firefox amd64  73.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 [51.8 MB]
 Fetched 51.8 MB in 3s (20.0 MB/s)  
 $ firefox
 XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /XXXXX/notroot/usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
 libstartup-notification-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 Couldn't load XPCOM.

Is it possible to install all dependencies automatically?
Workaround would be to install them by hand:

$ notroot install libstartup-notification0
Installing libstartup-notification0 from apt...
Get:1 http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt Mirrorlist [1511 B]
Get:2 http://mirror.serverloft.eu/ubuntu/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 libstartup-notification0 amd64 0.12-5 [18.9 kB]
Fetched 20.4 kB in 0s (124 kB/s)               
$ firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /XXXXX/notroot/usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
libxcb-util.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
$ notroot install libxcb-util1
Installing libxcb-util1 from apt...
Get:1 http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt Mirrorlist [1511 B]
Get:2 http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 libxcb-util1 amd64 0.4.0-0ubuntu3 [11.2 kB]
Fetched 12.7 kB in 0s (44.0 kB/s)

any ideas?
regards

More packages support?

As stated in https://github.com/Gregwar/notroot/#support, this script is designed only to install libraries and binaries. But it would be nice if you could somehow install more things, like a complete desktop environment. Have you planned that this will ever be added, or did you just discontinued this project?

Like:

$ notroot install xfce4
[NOTROOT] Installing xfce4 from apt...
[NOTROOT] Scanning dependencies with apt-rdepends...
Can't locate AptPkg/Config.pm in @INC (you may need to install the AptPkg::Config module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.30.0 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.30 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30 /usr/share/perl/5.30 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /home/user/notroot/usr/bin/apt-rdepends line 108.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/user/notroot/usr/bin/apt-rdepends line 108.
Get:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal/universe arm64 xfce4 all 4.14 [4980 B]
Fetched 4980 B in 0s (22.7 kB/s)

$ startxfce4
bash: startxfce4: command not found

Edit: I seem to get that error on all packages, but some of them do work after installating tho:

$ notroot install neofetch
[NOTROOT] Installing neofetch from apt...
[NOTROOT] Scanning dependencies with apt-rdepends...
Can't locate AptPkg/Config.pm in @INC (you may need to install the AptPkg::Config module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.30.0 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.30 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30 /usr/share/perl/5.30 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /home/user/notroot/usr/bin/apt-rdepends line 108.

$ neofetch
# works and shows the output

[not an issue] Use notroot to install apt!

apt update?

I just can't install the package because it thinks it's not there

$ notroot install neofetch
Installing neofetch from apt...
E: Unable to locate package neofetch
