The above packages are probably marked as automatically installed for some reason. Did you bulk tag a pile of packages as automatically installed when you started using aptitude? You could run: aptitude install checkinstall kapptemplate kbabel kbugbuster kcachegrind kdesdk-kfile-plugins kdesdk-misc kdesdk-scripts kompare kuiviewer poxml umbrello valgrind valgrind-calltree Or you could manually tag those packages as /not/ being automatically installed in the interface (with "m" I believe) You probably also need to check that other packages that you want aren't set as having been automatically installed too. -- ----------( Zelfs een blinde kip vindt wel eens een korrel )---------- Simon ----( )---- Nomis Htag.pl 0.0.22 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
