Aptitude now seems to have crashed. At least, it said "Searching for overlapping packages" and is refusing to do anything else. Not even ^C stops it, so maybe the ctl-alt-F1 console is dead. ps -Al | grep aptitude tells me it's in a wait state. I long for the old behaviour of the interactive aptitude where, when you deleted something that brokd a whole tree of packages, it would cherrfully tell you that it was about to delete 784 packages, and you could take a look and decide whether you relaly wanted to go on. Not it recommends an action, and doesn't let you do anything else. Deleting a package that other depend on gives you a recommendation that you not delete it, or even upgrading it instead. Frustrating whan you rellay would like to delete the whole thing and start over, differently. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
