Not really as these issues generally only occur when packages are being *upgraded* using 'aptitude install ', not when they are being newly installed. When upgrading the issues will also occur more frequently if packages are broken (e.g. when upgrading in unstable) than when they are installable.

The apt-install > script would have to change, as well as tasksel. For tasksel that would destroy the option to review which packages get installed, which is an important option when tasksel is invoked manually (I've used it for example to determine task sizes for the Installation Guide).

Sure, they might not happen a lot, but they also happen from within debian-installer. With Debian Edu/Squeeze, I recently noticed one example, where jackd fail to install using aptitude, but install just fine with apt-get, because the latter seem to do a better job at finding a installable set based on the packages tasksel want to install. :) > For tasksel that would destroy the option to review which packages > get installed, which is an important option when tasksel is invoked > manually (I've used it for example to determine task sizes for the > Installation Guide).

OK. I trust you to know this better than me, but it is a bit besides my point, which is that it is fairly small change to replace aptitude with apt-get in d-i. I would believe it would be better for d-i to use the same tool in the installer, for predictability and consistency, as well as to keep the dependencies down. Sure, it will give change the behaviour of d-i, but that is also the point, if the aptitude behaviour is worse than that of apt-get. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen Pretending d-i developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It should be also able to operate in the way you prefer and be not afraid to try new things. In Depth My ideal is a balance of: * low entrance / easy to use * rich feature set (CPAN IDE) * highly configurable / adaptable to personal preferences * beauty / good integration on GUI, code and config level That sounds maybe generic but we go for the grail of editing, nothing lesser. Details I believe that Kephra's agenda is very similar to Perl's. Its common wisdom that freedom means not only happiness but also life works most effective in freedom. So there should not only be more than one way to write a programm, but also more than one way use an editor. You could: * select menu items * make kombinations of keystrokes * point and click your way with the mouse * type short edit commands So the question should not be vi or emacs, but how to combine the different strengths (command input field and optional emacs-like keymap possibilities). Perl was also a combination of popular tools and concepts into a single powerful language. Though I don't want to just adopt what has proven to be mighty. There are a lot of tools (especially in the graphical realm) that are still waiting to be discovered or aren't widely known. In Perl we write and rewrite them faster and much more dense than in C or Java. Some function that help me every day a lot, I written were in very few lines. But many good tools are already on CPAN and Kephra should just be the glue and graphical layer to give you the possibilities of these module to your fingertips in that form you prefer. This helpes also to improve these modules, when they have more users that can give the authors feedback. It motivates the community, when we can use our own tools and the perl ecosystem does not depend on outer software like eclipse, even if it's sometimes useful. Perl's second slogan is "Keep easy things easy and make hard things possible". To me it reads "Don't scare away the beginners and grow as you go". And like Perl I want to handle the complex things with as least effort as possible.

Really??? I mean a sentence that ends in a question mark and contains
