I have made a start on this, but I have run into a couple of problems when testing in Etch:
1. The "-o" option results in Aptitude running in interactive mode. | # aptitude -o Aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern='~T'|The file "/root/.aptitude/config" is not modified. I have tried other options with the same result:
# aptitude -o Aptitude::CmdLine::Always-Prompt=true # aptitude -o Aptitude::Log=/tmp/my-log Any idea why this happens (Aptitude 4.1.1-13)?2. I am not sure about the "-H" option for Sudo in Sarge. Should Aptitude be called with "sudo -H" like this?
$ sudo -H aptitude ... -- Chris.
