I start aptitude and type "g" to see what it plans to do.
It wants to remove vim as an "unused" package. As far as unused packages
go, I use this one everyday. Well let's read further... "It was
installed automatically". Well that's a lie : I installed it on pupose
but I didn't do it with aptitude. I can accept this kind of behaviour
but I will certainly not consider the message displayed as correct.
It sounds like you've already decided against aptitude, but for anyone else
reading this thread...
Yes and no.
I don't think I will use it in the near future but that doesn't mean
I've got anything against aptitude per se.
The fact that one doesn't like a program doesn't mean anything bad about
the prog itself.
You can fix this flag manually by pressing 'm'.
In my experience, aptitude always has a reason for whatever weird things it
might want to do. I might not agree with the reason, but at least I can find
it.
Exactly.
I personally like aptitude, because it helps keep the cruft off my system.
But I find that I do have to keep an eye on it.
