aptitude used to clean up old packages by default, but I got complaints about destroying user data, so now you have to enable it explicitly by putting "Aptitude::Autoclean-After-Update true;" in /etc/apt/apt.conf. I can't find anything in the current manpage (for 0.4) that suggests this is done by default, but if there is an indication that this is the case, it's a bug and should be fixed.
Could you please point me at the section of the manpage that you referred to previously, and/or confirm that it's gone/fixed in version 0.4? Thanks, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
