AFAIK only if the packages were automatically installed with aptitude. And there's another problem: If you installed a task-package and remove just one of the packages from that task later, the complete task will be removed, since they where all automatically installed. - Rolf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Because "aptitude dist-upgrade" didn't work for upgrading my sarge desktop to etch... it was unable to compute a solution while apt-get did just fine. And this even if I tried to help him by indicating which packages to remove and which packages to install. And dist-upgrading involves lots of installation of new packages... and removal of old packages. I aptitude dist-upgrade regularly in my sid chroot without troubles.

Just a bit more nitpicking: apt is different from apt-get. apt-get and aptitude are different frontends to apt (just as, say, synaptic is).

Interesting... here, it tends to be the contrary. apt-get wants to install a whole lot of packages on dist-upgrade, while aptitude is able to pull the minimum required.

I often install packages to play with them a little or just to read the man page. 90% of the time I do _not_ want to keep those packages regardless that I have installed them manually. And there are cases when a package is no longer depended on but I still want to keep it. That's why I like debfoster: it asks the question "do you want to keep the package or not", which is orthogonal to how and why it was installed.

Soon-to-be orphaned packages need a caring maintainer
Due to severe time constraints and interest shifts I'm putting some packages up to adoption. I considered taking a complete break from debian until things get better but I am just not able to do so. I've been a debian developer for 9 years now, that represents almost 1/3rd of my life involved with this project on different levels. That said I plan to reduce my packages to the two or three I use the most nowadays. The following are the packages I'm orphaning next week if nobody volunteers to maintain them: Clara - GPL'd ocr software. I know the upstream developer in person, he is very easy to deal with, but the package hasn't seen an update for quite some time, its home page states that it will be updated soon (http://www.geocities.com/claraocr/) The latest version available is packaged, but has long standing bugs. It will be orphaned if nobody steps forward to maintain it. manpages-pt: manpages in Portuguese (mostly brazilian) vertex: An OpenGL 3d modeller, it will be orphaned. I've not been dealing with opengl in ages. And I'd even suggest its removal from the archives since vertex would be mostly useful with a library to load its models into a user program (libv3d - which I never packaged and nobody ever complained about). The last upstream update was almost 2 years ago. normalize-audio: This one is quite nice and it's used by several other multimedia related packages. There are some open bugs and a new version upstream to be packaged, this one is fun to deal with, and it is probably the one which will find a new maintainer quicker. mxml: This is a very simple library for dealing with "xml-like" files, it is much smaller and simpler than libxml since it does not deal with validation and DTDs and such. I'm just RFA'ing this one since zynaddsubfx (which I'll keep maintaining) depends on it. phat: This library is a set of useful gtk widgets designed for multimedia apps. I'm just RFA'ing it since specimen (which I'll keep) depends on it. And I think that's all. I hope all those orphan packages will find a caring maintainer before I need to assign their maintainership to the already overloaded qa team and open new wnpp bugs. Regards, Eduardo (AKA error) P.S. I'm not currently subscribed to debian-devel, so please, answer directly to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have found (in the past) that aptitude gets confused if it downloads a corrupt file (e.g. because the version on the server is corrupt), and instead of telling the user of the problem, the file is ignored and deleted, resulting in the user assuming an upgrade went flawlessly, when in actual fact it didn't. Not sure if this is fixed yet or not. When this has happened in the past, I have spent all my available time working out why aptitude is repeatedly downloading the same file, and then trying to work out why the file is corrupt, that I run out of time to file meaningful bug reports. apt-get on the other hand will tell the user immediately of any problems. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
