OK, now I know why we misunderstood each other :) Normally using apt-get, myself, the first place I turned to when needing this one particular feature, I did not actually check the results of an aptitude run, but went through the manpage of aptitude, instead. Based on what I read there, I assumed the feature was missing completely. We can close this bug, but I would request you add a short line to the manapge to reflect aptitude install's behaviour. I will not close the bug myself, as you might want to keep it in order to track the new request. Thanks for your time and sorry for the confusion. Perhaps I should give aptitude a real try for all my needs, after all :) Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
