Aptitude wants to remove a large number of packages like blender, gimp, exiv2, the list going on and on. dselect how ever is much more on the ball, it only wanting to remove imagemagik and graphicsmagik. Apt does not appear to know what its doing, for instance it wishs to remove blender for 2 unmet dependencies. Curiously dselect, dpkg AND looking in the /var/lib/dpkg/info directory shows these dependcies ARE on the system.
I've had ongoing problems with aptitude insisting on removing things I want. Usually I just use "apt-get dist-upgrade" to upgrade. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
