Re: Let `package-install-selected-packages' install packages without asking for confirmation.

[Rudolf Adamkovič]

On a related note, I use “(package-install 'X)” in my Emacs 
configuration files which spits out “‘X’ is already installed” for 
every package on launch. It is no big deal, but it would be great 
if Emacs included “package-install-if-needed” or perhaps some 
argument on “package-install” to stay quiet if no work is 
necessary. Clearly, “(unless (package-installed-p X) 
(package-install X))” is a common pattern.
