If you cannot find the option in the menu then you can check your (root's) ~/.aptitude/config directly. The setting is called "Aptitude::Delete-Unused" and it should default to "true" if it is not set explicitly in that file (or in /etc/apt/apt.conf or in any of the files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/). -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
