Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-2 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.
