Thanks a lot. Synoptic works great. I guess we just found an aptitude bug :(.
By the way, what does obsolete packages mean in synoptic (could not find
anything about it in the
help)? Is it like with aptitude? I preferred aptitude over apt-get because it
would remove useless
packages whenever the dependencies of main packages would change. Is this what
synoptic means by
obsolete packages?
