Whatever dependency errors arise (i.e. if aptitude uninstalls GNOME or something, which it may very well do, I'm not sure) you'll need to take note of (Perhaps copy/paste into a file?) and fix manually afterwards. Sometimes it takes some time to fully fix problems like this, so I'd save aptitude purge for a last resort unless you're pretty comfortable with what you're doing. - - -- If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs. - Richard Stallman - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHRFARg6qL2BGnx4QRAsq7AJ9gzLlLJrAhUz9myxST5bIh58cnnACfaKyK wvNr0tBboiuv8x88yvdTMdA= =gZ3B - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHRGCCg6qL2BGnx4QRAs5EAJ4yJ0KZKO+sW6g5uTAr0eUpmKipcACfXG5B GDGBKWi6loIg/bo2zYugBCc= =VCRq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
