I reordered the dependencies, to be simpler to compare: ===== luca@gismo:~$ dpkg -s aptitude | grep Installed Installed-Size: 8424 luca@gismo:~$ dpkg -s aptitude | grep Depends Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-12), \ libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-12), \ libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11, libncursesw5 (>= 5.4-5), \ libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (>= 2.0.2) luca@gismo:~$ dpkg -s apt | grep Installed Installed-Size: 4296 luca@gismo:~$ dpkg -s apt | grep Depends Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-12), \ libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-12) luca@gismo:~$ ===== Except from the difference in size between aptitude and apt, we have: - libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3-11 is provided by apt, so with aptitude we *have* apt - libncursesw5 adds 584K - libsigc++-2.0-0c2a adds 88K Even if it's only about 5M more, sometimes matter (not in my specific case, however). Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
