Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] n
why do suddenly I get such kind of behaviour.
it's getting me nuts.
I'm wanting to install fai without the recomended package. Because this machines was installed
with fai. I specified to use aptitude as the system to install package with fai.
have you used aptitude before?
In the configurations files of fai, I explicitely said that it must use aptitude as the default
installer. This will ensure that the data of aptitude are consistent (I hope so).
does some one know understand this ?
it is possible that those packages have been marked as 'automatically
installed' by aptitude and aptitude sees that no other packages are
depending on them so it is automatically cleaning up.
run aptitude in the console and hit enter on a package that is marked
for removal and see if it has a 'A' by it and also if there are any
packages that are installed that depend on it.
-matt zagrabelny
that I understand. But what I don't is:
- how come such situation can happen, when I always used aptitude ?
- why after a aptitude update; aptitude upgrade; aptitude dist-upgrade
it does not notify my that there is a situtation where such packages
need to be removed ?
- why do I get after a:
aptitude install fai, it just install me fai and the recommended packages,
and that a install -R fai, tells me that all this packages have to be removed ?
Moreover, I'm searching for a tool to navigate easily the packages depedencies
back and forward. eg.
- which packages are needed to install a package.
- which package served to other one.
(I know that I have difficulties to express myself).
to see the depedencies and to go up and down in it.
Cedric
