Ok, I'll do that.Thanks.

package manager question

Hello, I've been reading some stuff about apt, dpkg and I wonder if it is possible to have more control on package's dependencies. Is there other package managers for debian that are able to support it? I've found this at www.debian.org As you can see in the above example, APT also takes care

Re: package manager question

hmm... I see. So for example, I wanted to install x-window-system, and as I don't have a printer I wouldn't need xlibprint and xlibprint-common (something like that). If it's not safe to remove those packages after the installation, is there a way not to install them?Thank you all for your time.
