Hi, I do not see the need for your suggestion.
I think you problem are * POSIX regular expression need to be studied. * you are complainig auto remove. > Finally, in fact, I do not understand the algorithm. For ex., when I > execute apt-get -s remove ^openof.*, why aspell is removed, but > ttf-opensymbol not? I have both on my system. ^ means "string start with" thus ttf-opensymbol is not met. * means 0 or more repeat So you are essentially matching name starting with "opn" aspell must have been installed by dependency. If you ignore warning, that is your fault. > What does it mean "identical to install except that packages are > removed"? I know that installing means "install them and all their > currently uninstalled dependencies, recursively". Does remove means > "remove them and all its dependencies, and recursively all the > dependencies of dependencies"? When ever you issue command from root with regrex or glob, you must be very careful. Matching 3 letters to do remove is bad move. >> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476075 PS: autoremove was popular demand. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
