I haven't tried aptitude for some time, and apparently the problem I
had with it (where it wanted to remove a lot of stuff) has been fixed.
I think that, even before that fix, it would work reasonably (i.e., no
surprises) as long as it was used

Which program can let user decide to store files (not deflate)?
The -0 option to zip allows for simple storage.

Hi,
How to let command touch to work with irregular file names?
In my script I have
touch -r $file1 $file2
the file1/2 can be anything file, ../path/file, /root/file, etc.
The problem is when file1/2 are irregular file names. E.g., -test.file1/2.
