Hi all I wish to remove libdbi-perl from my Debian system. The two packages: libdbd-csv-perl libdbd-mysql-perl DO depend on libdbi-perl and it's fine for those to be removed BUT I certainly don't want MySQL removed. MYSQL does not depend on any of these packages.
How do i tell it to not remove them???? A man apt-get does not have an opption like "keep" or something ?? mysql-perl$ sudo apt-get --no-act remove libdbi-perl Reading Package Lists...
