It's taken some time to get used to, but I love aptitude. But I'm _still_ not going to use that d$%*ned GUI! :-) Start with "aptitude upgrade", then it will upgrade most of the " ...useful packages...", and leave you with a much smaller problem list. To follow up, if the problem is a managable size, I'll then try upgrading a specific package to see which one is triggering removal of kde. > What is not going to do a good service to users, is to share a root > account where everyone is doing things in a different way.

Aptitude from the command line is better - yet command compatible. It's definitely going to screw things up, though, if you're using both. -- derek
