Hi, It was probably first installed as a dependency and marked automatically installed. If there is no packages depending on sudo anymore, aptitude wants to remove as it is no longer needed. If you use aptitude in the visual mode, you can see it in the status flags (third character is A, if it was automatically installed). To change the status in the visual mode, go to the package and press 'm' to set sudo as being manually installed. In the command line you can do it by: user@server:~$ aptitude unmarkauto sudo HTH Simo -- :r ~/.signature
