That's surprising, since I thought aptitude was built around the apt stuff. Which packages can you see with apt-cache that you can't see with aptitude? > > Another problem is, due to my using apt.

Again, I thought aptitude and apt-get were pretty much interchangeable. I do occassionally use apt-get for quick additions that I don't need to search for, and I haven't had any trouble going back to aptitude. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I thought that was how it was supposed to work. Tyler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
