BTW: 'aptitude -f' is something you should not use. It's not the equivalent of 'apt-get -f'. The equivalent of 'apt-get install -f' is normally 'aptitude install' Also try the the option '--dry-run' of aptitude / apt-get to get a list of packages it wants to remove. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [email protected] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [email protected] | | best [email protected] | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
