You are always fully responsible for your computer system and you can never blame any package for suggesting another package. Sorry but this is a very construed scenario. If you think that one of your family members is unable to control aptitude, it might be advisable to revoke their root privileges. The tool is perfectly safe otherwise. > Anyway, the minesweeper in aptitude might be more short lived that > what you think, at which point the dependencies of the package will be > incorrect. Should this ever happen, please feel free to file another bug report. Obviously without the minesweeper game there would be no reason to mention aptitude at all. That would be a valid bug report indeed. Cheers, Markus
