Hello List, I had quite some trouble with a machine recently when trying to install a new mailman version. Several software packages were uninstalled without further asking. I found the following entry in the /etc/apt/apt.conf file and now I think of becoming a little angry :-( because I know the two parameters "Assume Yes 'true'" and "Purge 'Yes'" can really do a lot of harm. Or are they necessary for working automatic updates? I doubt that... there should be a better way, or not? Any help appreciated!
------------------------- { // Options for apt-get Get { Assume-Yes "true"; Fix-Missing "yes"; Show-Upgraded "yes"; Purge "true"; // really purge! Also removes config files List-Cleanup "true"; ReInstall "false"; }; -------------------------- -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Markus Feilner -------------------------- Feilner IT Linux & GIS Linux Solutions, Training, Seminare und Workshops - auch Inhouse Beraiterweg 4 93047 Regensburg Untere Hauptstr 2 85386 Eching fon regensburg +49 941 8107989 fon eching +49 89 379 956 3 fax +49 89 379 956 444 mobil + +49 170 3027092 skype ID: mfeilner mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
