I am apprehensive about that GTK interface. It doesn't look ready to me. Mine comes up with a terminal spouting lines like libglade-WARNING **: could not look up stock id '_Forget New Packages' for all the menu items. Inevitably the window freezes and stops redrawing on some function and I have to "killall aptitude". Last time it was when I tried to open a "dependencies" tab within a package info dialog. It froze on "parsing changelog." I haven't completed a session with aptitude GTK since it was only available in experimental. It is a great looking thing: the info access of Synaptic, the functions of Aptitude. I'll hang on to aptitude-curses out of familiarity for a year or more anyway. I am perfectly happy with aptitude-curses, and apt-get/aptitude at the command line. -- Regards, Freeman "Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question.
