Also there's the APT::Get::AutomaticRemove option, which, if set to false, I expect to prevent APT from removing the automatically installed packages. However, what I'm interested in right now, is how do I access the list of autoinstalled packages with plain APT or dpkg(1)? -- FSF associate member #7257 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
