$ sudo apt-get install sqliteman* sqlite3*
gives me a display that includes this:

Checking the list I see among others 'TeX, ruby, r-cran, php. openjdk, ocaml, mysql, mono, lua, libreoffice, libjs, libghc, latex, gnustep, gcc-4.6, autotools, bacula. apache2, aolserver, ...'
This list seems so overly long and content-rich that I said No for that install.
Anyone with insight here?
All I want is to get "up and running" on sqlite3 (and nothing else).
I'm a bit of a beginner on SQL,
but see the usefulness both in private projects and at work.
In the end, the basic question:
Is there some way to reduce that list to a more reasonable one?
The "*" is the problem here. It selects too many unwanted packages and their dependencies.
Issue a command only as below:
