I just tried to uninstall bonobo via aptitude, and it just silently puts the package on hold instead of purging it like I requested. Meanwhile, if I do an apt-get --purge remove, I get what I want immediately. tigger:~# apt-get --purge remove bonobo Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: bonobo* libgtkhtml20* libguppi16* 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 10 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 4023kB will be freed. I don't even know how bonobo got on the system, since there's no application I'm using that requires it. I guess that brings us back to the original topic. ;-) Mike -- Michael P.
