Package: aptitude Version:0.6.3-3.2 Hello,
I think aptitude lacks a feature : being able to tell the user what he has installed already (in order to let him do clean up). I think of a feature such as in windows (control panel / add or remove programs), were you can identify easily what you have installed. the automatic/installed/not installed categories do not tell if a package was there because it was a choice of the distribution, or if it is there because the user installed it. To do that, Ubuntu.fr provides a nice command on http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/aptitude, though it could be updated : aptitude search '~i!~M(!~tubuntu-desktop!~tminimal!~tstandard!~tprint-server)(!~n^grub$!~n^linux-!~n^aspell$!~n^openoffice.org-l10n-common$((!~n-fr$!~n-fr-)|~ndoc-fr$))' Maybe this type of command could be integrated, with something like the following ? aptitude show ~user Regards, William -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
