Your understanding of the term "manual" is flawed. It means *you* asked for the package to be installed, via Synaptic, apt or aptitude, rather than it being installed as as system requirement, or dependency of another package, not from outside those systems. If you install a package outside Synaptic et al, there is no way that they can know about it, so it won't be listed in their databases, anyway. Auto-removable packages are those that may get removed to make way for new packages, if space gets short. Theoretically, you should be able to remove them without problem, but it's not always the case, as you've discovered. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Does she always shout at you, does she tell you what to do Family Life - Sham 69
