Thanks for the warning on that, but I've seen the mass-uninstall thing happening in TUI mode as well. I read somewhere official that aptitude has different apt preferences by default, which is probably a big factor. I, personally, just haven't seen the need to work out the cause though, given that other tools act in a way that seems more intuitive. -- Lee. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
