No. I've never used the interface for anything (nor do I particularly intend to.) I just suddenly started using aptitude instead of apt-get. I had installed a lot of different stuff along the way without that happening, so something went wrong somewhere for no obvious reason. I can't explain the timing. > aptitude install checkinstall kapptemplate kbabel kbugbuster kcachegrind > kdesdk-kfile-plugins kdesdk-misc kdesdk-scripts kompare kuiviewer poxml > umbrello valgrind valgrind-calltree I did. It cured it. I was just bemused about the whole thing though. So much for it reading my mind. > You probably also need to check that other packages that you want aren't > set as having been automatically installed too. I guess I'll deal with it if/when the time comes. Thanks though. At least I know there's a way to manually cure this sort of thing if I ever bother to learn its interface. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
