Hey there Debian-user list, ive been thinking, (not well enough, as it seems).
How does dselect do, when you select/deselect packages to be added/removed ? i mean, can you type yourself, like on one line..
apt-get install packages remove packages?
Im not meaning apt-get install packages; apt-get remove packages
you see, so it would collect all packages in need to be added, and all packages that needs to be removed..
Best Regards /smurfd
Just use aptitude. 'aptitude install packageA', then when you get a prompt you can type -packageB to list packages for removal before proceeding[alternatively 'aptitude remove packageB' and then +packageA at the prompt to mark packages for install]. Curiously, 'echo -packageA | aptitude install pacakgeB' doesn't seem to work, it seems to expect all its input to come the pipe and doesn't let you proceed.
