I did a test: #echo "par install" | dpkg --set-selections #aptitude <hit the G char> <it shows: par, to be installed> <select par, hit - key, quit aptitude> #echo "par install" | dpkg --set-selections #aptitude <hit the G char> <it shows: nothing to be installed> It doesn't seem that dpkg --set-selections is idempotent. Is there a document which explains its semantics? [To be honest, I've been scared of all package management tools short of aptitude. Only aptitude seems to have ACID properties. The others all seemd a bit hack-ish.] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
