Apt has recently started asking if it should erase files. EEEeeek. :0) . What exactly does this do, ie would this delete my local copy of potato or does it only come into effect for when used with apt get, i haven't been able to find anything re "erase". And if so how do i prevent it ( yeah i know pushing "n" no doubt will ) , i do not fancy seeing my local copy get wiped by inadvertently hitting <enter> to many times as it defaults to <y> it seems cheers
