The /etc/apt/apt.conf files is extremely customizable. See 'man apt.conf' for all the details.
The biggest problem I have with dselect over apt-get: it is easier to pick which version of a particular package I want to install when multiple versions are available with apt-get. -----Original Message----- From: R Ransbottom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 3:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: dselect apt-get coordination How do you coordinate apt-get and dselect so that they "want" the same packages? If I understand the apt-get man page running "apt-get dselect-upgrade" will set up the system per the setting last made using dselect. Correct? How do you the inverse? That is how do you alter the dselect database to reflect packages installed with apt-get or, put another way, to reflect the current state of the system? (So that a casual use of dselect does not materially alter the system.) Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
