aptitude installs gnome when you ask for it; it removes it when you tell it to remove it. Yes, that's a lot of packages. If you want to remove gnome and still keep most of its packages, well, you'll have to tell aptitude what you want, and not *just* tell it to remove gnome. It's pretty clear to me that aptitude would be broken if it *didn't* try to remove all the things it installed before. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
