To prevent aptitude from removing some packages that were pulled in
through dependencies, you need to manually unmark them as auto
packages. This includes OpenOffice and Vim for desktop installs:
# aptitude unmarkauto openoffice.org vim
And 2.6 kernel images if you have installed them using a kernel
metapackage:
# aptitude unmarkauto $(dpkg-query -W 'kernel-image-2.6.*' | cut
# -f1)
Note: You can review which packages are marked as auto in aptitude by
running:
# aptitude search 'i~M <package name>'
Thanks, I was not aware of these options.
Manon.
