A) If you have configured aptitude to automatically install recommended packages then you have to run: aptitude unmarkauto '~M!~R~i' This will remove the "auto" mark from all packages that are not listed as a dependency of any other installed package. B) If your aptitude only installs dependencies automatically then this has to be: aptitude unmarkauto '~M!(~R~i|~Rrecommends:~i)' This will remove the "auto" mark from all packages that are not listed as a dependency or a recommendation of any other installed package. Your system should be more or less OK after that. However, there might still be a few packages which you have to "unmarkauto" manually. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
