It was install with the Fully Automatic Installer (fai). In the configurations files of fai, I explicitely said that it must use aptitude as the default installer. This will ensure that the data of aptitude are consistent (I hope so).

But what I don't is: - how come such situation can happen, when I always used aptitude ? - why after a aptitude update; aptitude upgrade; aptitude dist-upgrade it does not notify my that there is a situtation where such packages need to be removed ? - why do I get after a: aptitude install fai, it just install me fai and the recommended packages, and that a install -R fai, tells me that all this packages have to be removed ? Moreover, I'm searching for a tool to navigate easily the packages depedencies back and forward. eg. - which packages are needed to install a package. - which package served to other one. (I know that I have difficulties to express myself). to see the depedencies and to go up and down in it. Cedric > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
