I don't think apt can do that, but aptitude (in sid at least, possibly in woody also) can. When you install A, it'll record that B and C were installed too to satisfy the dependencies. When you remove or purge A, aptitude will use this information and remove B and C as well (unless they're used by other packages.) -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6
