I find the suggestions I get from aptitude usually get in my way; it seems mostly to want to undo the installations/upgrades I'm asking for, and I don't seem to be able to get to the proposed list of packages to be installed/upgraded/removed/broken without accepting its suggestions. Otherwise I might be able to resolve some of it myself. Maybe what I'm asking for isn't possible, but I find its suggestions just muddy the water and make it hard to investigate. - hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
