Well another 'minor' problem has arisen, probably connected to the
fact kde-desktop is no longer on my machine. Now Aptitude wants to
remove all the files I just installed avahi-daemon and its dependecies,
plus dhcp3-client !!!! I was updating my machine and this is what it
told me:

The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED:
avahi-daemon dhcp3-client libavahi-core4 libdaemon0
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 1339kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

Anybody know how I can smarten up Aptitude ? It seems to think these 4
essential ( to my machine ) packages are not needed.

Looks like
