Re: "task" and beyond



Hi,

Hrm, aptitude already does that, and this is indeed a good thing.

On a side note, would it be feasible to have apt and/or dpkg call
certain hooks before removal of a package? With the "auto-managed" hint
and library transitions, one could catch failures of locally compiled
software that way (cron job runs dpkg-shlibdeps on all local binaries
nightly and refuses to remove packages containing required libs).
