There was recently a thread on debian-devel about circular dependencies, IIRC the method used was also mentioned.

Not in my experience. I installed some package to try out and on purge most of the dependencies stayed. I had to use aptitude's log to search for the culprit(s).

can apt* find var/cache/files?
Basicaly the question is in the subject line :-) I recently re-installed, saving my original home files and so on, including the .deb files from /var/cache. I have put those files back into /var/cache. Will apt or aptitude find those files, or will they want to download them again? -- Regards, Brian sos-sa.org.au -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

apt-find...where is libapt2.5
I tried to get apt-find but it tells me that I need libapt2.5. I can seem to find it anywhere although I have found libapt.0.3-dev. Does anyone know where libapt2.5 is. Roderick P. Person Programmer I CCBH (412)454-2616 "We're not that good. Everyone else just sucks!" - anon. Navy Seal
