I think this is a importend feature that we should have in synaptic. My feeling is that it should be implemented as a feature inside libapt so that all frontends (including apt-get) can use it. I hope to attack this issue at some point in the future. In the meantime help is welcome :) Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.

Bug#298971: synaptic: Synaptic incompatitable with aptitude's markauto feature
Package: synaptic Version: 0.55+cvs20050218-1 Severity: wishlist The aptitude markauto feature keeps a system from accumulating unwanted packages, leftover cruft that is unused by anything but installed anyway. Synaptic should operate in a fashion that's compatible with aptitude so that unneeded packages, those installed only to satisfy a dependency for a package that is no longer installed, are automatically removed from the system. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3- 0.5.28.1Advanced front-end for dpkg ii gksu 1.2.3-2 graphical frontend to su ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc62.3.2.ds1-20GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-6 GCC support library ii libglade2-0 1:2.4.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.2-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpango1.0-01.8.0-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvte4 1:0.11.11-5 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client li ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxml2 2.6.16-3GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-9.1 A free electronic cataloging syste ii xlibs4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
