Re: aptitude --mind-your-own-business option?

* Ken Irving <fnkci@xxxxxxx> [061202 04:52]:
I've periodically tried using aptitude, but always get scared off
when it seems to "run away". I'm sure it knows what's best for my
machine ;-), but is it possible to override this behavior?
...
I'll probably just go back to using apt-get, and probably everything
will be fine until the next time I decide to try aptitude. Is there a
compelling reason to bother?


Synaptic works. Debian Etch installs synaptic by default. For most
users, it is foolish to mess around with anything else.
