When I want to install it, apt-get suggets me to install libgtk-perl also, because iceconf depends on libgtk-perl. But, after some days using iceconf, I'm want to remove iceconf, and run 'apt-get remove iceconf', right? After this operation I have a removed iceconf, but still installed libgtk-perl! But I don't need a having libgtk-perl installed, because I don't have a package, which depends on libgtk-perl. You can say: if I run 'apt-get remove libgtk-perl' I got a suggestion remove also iceconf, but I must remember all dependencies of package, to correctly remove all dependencies. Today I download new version of apt-0.3.6, and look to source of apt-get. Nothing change in this direction ;-). And I found some bugs in my patch. I still working on it, but when I finish, may be you look at patches? p.s. I got a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Martin Schulze), informing me what I can't subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can you help? -- wbr, Sergey Golod. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
