I've been meaning to change to aptitude since that's the current default package manager (and seems to be better), but i'm considering doing it after a fresh reinstall (i need to repartition and maybe use lvm and raid). If i start using it now won't there be conflicts with what apt has done so far, i.e. do aptitude and apt both agree on dependencies and what not? For X, because i dislike having all drivers installed, when i setup Debian i chose no desktop task and installed X manually (having to re/configure Xorg.conf, as usual), making sure i first installed xserver-xorg-video-nv (as well as input stuff) before i installed the core packages. I have no *-all installed. These are the packages i have: x11-xserver-utils xserver-common xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-nv So, xserver-xorg-core should not need the *-all package. Besides, i've been dist-upgrading for ages and X never complained, so why start now? And packages depending directly on apache instead of on an httpd? I've installed nagios3 and then purged it, that's where apache-utils came from. But now i've purged them both. These would be the only ones what would be related to a webserver. So, if i change now to aptitude will all my problems be solved? -- () ascii-rubanda kampajno - kontraŭ html-a retpoŝto /\ ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
