Well, this is not completely unrealistic, given that somebody might do --get-selections on one machine, and use it for --set-selections on a different one. Therefore the next question is: Is there a particular, defined order for package removals? I think usually first all packages are removed, then purged (i.e. prerm1, dpkg_removes_files1, postrm1 remove, prerm2, dpkg_removes_files2, postrm2 remove, prerm3, dpkg_removes_files3, postrm3 remove, postrm1 purge postrm2 purge postrm3 purge This would be okay for me. But if it happens to be prerm1, dpkg_removes_files1, postrm1 remove, postrm1 purge prerm2, dpkg_removes_files2, postrm2 remove, postrm2 purge prerm3, dpkg_removes_files3, postrm3 remove, postrm3 purge for some reason, I am in trouble. Can I make any assumptions about this? Regards, Frank -- Frank K�ster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Z�rich Debian Developer
