Aptitude shows automatically installed packages with a 'A' on the left side of the screen. If you highlight bluefish and press '+' you will change the package to install which will 'manually' install your package.
If you use aptitude to install gnome-desktop, a lot of other packages will automatically be installed (the rules are more liberal than apt-get). When you select gnome-desktop to delete it will delete all of the automatically installed packages. This behavior is customizable. -- Jeff Rasmussen GPG public key 0x9686C12F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
