You can mark all packages as installed automatically (this will mark them for removal), then mark all essential and base ones as installed manually (this will keep them and their dependencies), and then work your way through the rest, starting with the most obvious ones (i.e., mark xserver-xorg and your DE as installed manually, this will keep a lot of packages). When you’re finished with the list, everything not needed will be marked for removal. -- Shot -- everyone at school is saving for a car I'm saving for a server rack pgpvWsQyNaOlK.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [Fwd: major problem with gnome-games dependency]
Hello. Joe Smith: > In other words recommendations mean: "This package does not actually > NEED the listed packages, but it is unlikely you will want to install > this package without the listed package." Given that auto-pulling in of recommendations is the first thing I turn off in aptitude after system installs - is there a simple way of telling aptitude 'hey, I changed my mind, mark all packages recommended by the currenly installed packages up for installation'? I wonder how many extra packages I'd have to install to 'catch up'.

My wild guess, based on http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://mentors.debian.net - because back in September 2004 Apache 2.0.50 and PHP 4.3.8 was in the supported and stable Ubuntu Warty, while not being in the supported and stable Debian woody.

If Disk 1 has hot-babe on it, then hot-babe is one of the most popular (most wanted) packages. I'd rather have Disk 1 more usable for Debian users than more suited for giving out to non-users.

Re: bad archive handling (was: Re: GNOME 2.8 on ia64 completely hosed?)
Hello. Sven Luther: > No the real solution to this is to have the archive software accept > multiple copies of a same package, and not remove the older arch:all > packages when there are still arch:any package from the same source > package in the archive. But the original problem (from debian-gtk-gnome) wasn't that the archive deletes the older versions (it doesn't), but that the client-side program wants the *newest* versions of packages. gnome-applets-data_2.8.1.1-3_all.deb was in the archive when gnome-applets_2.8.1.1-3_ia64.deb was the newest gnome-applets for ia64, but gnome-applets-data_2.8.1.1-4_all.deb was there *already*, and so apt didn't want to get the older, -3 gnome-applets-data. gnome-applets and gnome-applets-data must be the same version, but from the ia64's point of view the newest gnome-applets was -3 and the newest gnome-applets-data was -4. It's apt who should have requested gnome-applets-data -3 istead of breaking. Archive was ok all the time.
