Did that, nothing depends on vim-tcl. I am trying to look a bit further into this and I am getting a very strange behaviour. Each time I press g (upgrade/download/install) there is a different set of packages it wants to install that has nothing to do with anything I selected. This is just on the one system. My other computer is fine. There seems to be simething really fucked up with my aptitude installation for some reason. I installed it using dpkg --set-selections and then dselect, and from then curses interface I chose install. That seemed to have completely messed things up for aptitude. > Justin Guerin > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
