you know, i have following this thread and find it strange<g> i ran aptitude update and then ran aptitude upgrade, and look:
HighNet:/usr/local# aptitude upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED: libsysfs1 pmount totem totem-xine The following packages have been kept back: bash nano ssh sysvinit The following packages will be upgraded: libgadu3 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Need to get 63.3kB of archives. After unpacking 3871kB will be freed. now i know that i still use totem as well as pmount. now WHY is aptitude trying to remove them?
