Bluefish is an HTML editor based on GTK, not an aptitude helper. Or did you mean you were running the two applications at the same time? > A lot of people swear by aptitude but this behavior has made me swear > _at_ it more and more. If you want to keep bluefish, tell aptitude you installed it "manually". > There _might_ be some good reason for the way aptitude doese things but > I can't find them. Bluefish is marked as "automatically installed", and since (apparently) nothing you've installed "manually" depends on it, aptitude is removing it for you. > I would appreciate any explaination for this bizarre behaviour. What you're describing is a feature of aptitude. You can stop it, easily, from removing bluefish if you really wanted to keep bluefish. There may be a way to stop aptitude from removing "unused" packages, but since I want it to do that, I haven't checked. There's nothing bizarre involved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
