I have a virtual machine here, on which I installed the Xfce desktop
task some days ago (with a daily built netinst cd from 30.03.2012).
So, this is the perfect test case for the question above.
"apt-get install synaptic" would result in installing the
following packages (28 packages all together):
aptdaemon aptdaemon-data docbook-xml gir1.2-atk-1.0
gir1.2-freedesktop girl1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0
gir1.2-pango-1.0 gir1.2-vte-2.90 libcairo-perl libglib-perl
libgtk2-perl libpango-perl librarian0 libvte-2.90-9
libvte-2.90-common python-aptdaemon
python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets python-defer python-gnupginterface
python-pkg-resources python-software-properties
rarian-compat sgml-data software-properties-common
software-properties-gtk synaptic unattended-upgrades
7983 kB are needed to be downloaded.
24,1 MB additional space on hd will be used.
Greetings
Holger
