I am not saying there is no reason to do it (and it is probably due to
the options regarding dependencies) but do not tell me that aptitude
gives the reason for its actions.
I haven't done RTFM with manual concerning aptitude, apt and dselct. But
since I've upgraded
in a week to Sarge and installed another fresh one, I've been getting lot of
stuff I didn't ask for and where it isn't question about depencies. Not
only that, suddenly I sometimes find out that things are about to be removed
by bundles. It's also dselect, not just aptitude.
Can be however that I've made mistakes, human is usually weakest
link IMHO.
I'm just curious, has something important changed between Woody
and Sarge, concerning Debian package system?
