Package: apt Version: 1.0.1ubuntu2.13+7.0trisquel3 I tried to remove a package which is virtual, specifically nethack. apt-get told me it could not do this, but said nothing about what to do.
It would surely be easy to make it handle a virtual package by seeing which real package provides it, and offering to delete that one. Alas. I can't reproduce this now, or show you the output, because I no longer have those packages installed. I am using Trisquel, not Debian, and reportbug does not seem to work for me. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
