Yes. Aptitude keeps track of which packages have been installed simply to satisfy dependencies. And if these are no longer required, they will get removed. (This is handy if you, for example, aptitude install gnome (which is a metapacket); aptitude purge gnome will then remove all packages installed by that, something what apt-get wouldnt do) Unfortunately, if you used apt-get before, aptitude thinks all packages are installed just to satisfy dependencies and wants to remove them. So either a) use apt-get instead or b) run aptitude without arguments, press "g" once (for g) and mark all the packages aptitude wants to remove (but you do not want to be removed) with "+" (you need only mark the "mainpackage", not the packages "mainpackage" depends on) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
