Thanks for the input. Packagekit is not installed here, but if you look it up in aptitude and have a look at the packages that depend on it you may be able to see why it is installed. Looking at the depends I see that gnome-core depends on it so if your desktop is gnome that might be why although I haven't used gnome myself for some time so I can't say for sure. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
