You mean *not* automatically installed, right? This is expected behavior. When "why" is run with only a target, it tries to find the package that's keeping the automatically installed target on the system. If the target is manually installed, the search would terminate immediately (because the package is keeping itself on the system). You can give the search a different starting point if you want something else, e.g., aptitude why '?installed ?not(?name(^laptop-detect$))' laptop-detect Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
