Package: aptitude

Severity: wishlist

Hi,

aptitude remove libc6

gives a lengthy list of packages, but is quite happy to remove them.

In contrast, apt-get gives all sorts of terrifying warnings, as I'm sure you
are aware. Eg.

WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
[snip]
You are about to do something potentially harmful
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'
 ?]             

I'd suggest adding in such warnings, to protect clueless users against
destroying their system.

How is the job hunt going?

Best regards.                                              Faheem.
