Package: apt Version: 0.3.19 Severity: normal OK, I know it was dumb, but I accidentally hit '_' in dselect when I was on the "Installed Packages" line.
APT was smart enough to tell me that various essential packages were going to be removed, but it omitted mention of itself! I fixed the problem with essential packages and managed to remove APT itself at which point things became less straightforward to fix. Could APT be an essential package too? I don't think there can be too many people out there who don't consider it such now. -- System Information Debian Release: woody Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux heidegger 2.2.17 #1 Fri Sep 8 07:05:54 NZST 2000 i586 Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.1.94-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10 1:2.95.2-14 The GNU stdc++ library
