No, if this happens again you can go through the list of packages aptitude wants to remove and mark them as manually installed (m). Additionally you can go through the packages and mark all you don't need as automatically installed (with M). This way aptitude will remove them if nothing depends on them. The nice thing is you only need to do this once if you continue using aptitude (even from the commandline). Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
