a question for you apt-getters: does the situation ever
arise where apt-get gets way too ehtusiastic for your liking,
and goes on an interminable installation spree that winds up
screwing up your installed system?

I wuz always very afraid of Winblows auto-updates doing that,
so have *never* recommended that to lusers. As well, I've found
autorpm to be quite scary and stooooopid.
