You can use "aptitude safe-upgrade --visual-preview", though this is not particularly convenient when already running the aptitude cua. You can also check out "Aptitude::Always-Use-Safe-Resolver". I, too, find that the priorities given to the resolver's solutions and the action I intended are often quite disparate. The above remedies can be helpful, but are not real solutions. ...Marvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
