Hi, The man page of aptitude has some funny charters around the options which make the manual a bit unreadable. Here is a snapshot <package>\fB+\fR Install <package>.
<package>\fB+M\fR Install <package> and immediately mark it as automatically installed (note that if nothing depends on <package>, this will cause it to be immediately removed). <package>\fB-\fR Remove <package>. <package>\fB_\fR Purge <package>: remove it and all its associated configuration and data files. $ cat /etc/debian_version 4.0 $ dpkg-query --show aptitude aptitude 0.4.4-4 Any ideas why is this happening?
