Maybe something like this will work: aptitude --schedule-only markauto ~i && aptitude --schedule-only unmarkauto $list && aptitude install Or this: aptitude -o Aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern="~i" markauto ~i && aptitude unmarkauto $list Or this: aptitude -o Aptitude::Delete-Unused=false markauto ~i && aptitude unmarkauto $list (I did not actually try any of these myself; YMMV.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
