It would be nice if I could now whether I installed a packages manually via dpkg -i and m-a a-i, well which uses dpkg, it whether apt-get or aptitude installed it, i.e. whether I installed the package via a package manager or a package repository manager. This way I could purge files that are still no longer available in the archive but have been before, without removed self compiled kernels, modules or packages installed from files. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
