Hi I've long favoured the synaptic package manager because it's easy to search the packages, and it's clear what's going to be installed (dependencies etc) and easy to select packages.
However, I had to use aptitude and dselect (yuk) recently on another system and noticed that they would REMOVE packages which were only installed in order to satisfy dependencies, when I removed the package which required them. This seems like a genious thing to do, and synaptic doesn't seem to bother, which means as I install and uninstall stuff a lot of unnecessary packages are left behind. Am I correct or am I missing something? thanks rich. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
