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";
  };
--------------------------
