Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
*WTF* ? I mean why should I have every possible xserver video driver
(I only need one), apache (and WTF does it recommends apache-doc ?!). Oh
and the whole texlive mess is also a nice touch.
No, I just won't blacklist 186 packages in my /etc/apt/preferences,
this is just SOOOO wrong !
PS: I'm very fond of the apache (to be removed) Recommends. really.
especially on a notebook, it helps understanding how broken the
recommends chain is right now.
