AFAIS does APT provide no official way to keep packages when they have been recognized as no longer needed and autoremovable. You can always do an "apt-get install --reinstall $package" but I think something like "apt-get keep $package" would be more intuitive. I’m curious how Synaptic handles this since it offers a simple checkbox for this without needing to reinstall the packages in question. - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-1-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2007.02.19-0.1 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2-20070627-1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.2-20070627-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGj5KXYfUFJ3ewsJgRAhF1AKCc5dtiA/MedZ9FG/lcIxU+F6VjVwCfWrVJ cKMu5Wg2kb8eOXYQ/MsVt7k= =jeXK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
