Same with aptitude, I can't remove it
That's unusual. Are you sure, Gene? I know that your system is not
quite standard, but often in past Debian installs, not only has
aptitude not been a dependency, it has not even been there and I have
had to install it myself. In fact, there was a discussion quite
recently on the Debian list as to whether aptitude should be installed
by default.
Here is the first post in what turned out a fairly long thread.
Lisi
I followed all that as it went by Lisi, maybe even posted about it but
forgotten now, old wet ram. If I try to remove aptitude, synaptic (or
apt-get) says it will also remove around 30 some packages of trinity
stuff including the base trinity install. Curious about how real the
dependencies are, I've made aptitude-curses non executable, so now I sit
back and wait for something to complain. If no complaints in a week ,
I'll rename it slightly and wait another week. After that, rm to the
rescue.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
