Do I get it right that you are doing it basically the same way but just use 'aptitude install' instead of 'apt-get dselect-upgrade'? If yes, this puzzles me even further since I did the same as you but when I run 'aptitude install' aptitude still wants to remove hundreds of packages. BTW, you have earned yourself a few useless-use-of-cat-awards on your page. :) Instead of cat /tmp/packet_selection_on_orig | dpkg --set-selections you can do dpkg --set-selections < /tmp/packet_selection_on_orig J. -- Atrocities committed in Rwanda pervade my mind when I am discussing mundanities with acquaintances.
