- From Kent's original post:
aptitude (command-line and menu) fight me. I keep telling
it to purge all of the X11 system and it keeps saying
that'll break things so let's update things instead. NO!!!
I want to PURGE the thing!!!
apt-get does what you tell it to do. aptitude does what it thinks
is best.

are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
