** Description changed: Binary package hint: aptitude After upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 ubuntu, - when I use aptitude for any operation, then it wants to remove many of my applications each time. + aptitude is unusable for some users! - This does not happen when I use synaptic. + + When I use aptitude for any operation, then it wants to remove many of my applications each time. + I can not find any way so far to tell aptitude to NOT uninstall all this applications that I use (for example: kalarm, kdepim, and around 50 more). + + I did NOT uninstall manually kde or something like that recently, this + all started from the 9.04->9.10 update. + + This does not happen when I use synaptic or apt-get. When I use apt-get then the situation is explained "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required". What is the problem: - 1. I would expect aptitude to also just offer to remove this packages, not force it on me. To behave like apt-get - 2. Why are so many applications selected? This are not just some libraries or something, this are applications that I use. - 3. I thought upgrader (to 9.10) already removed unneeded stuff (for example "quiteinsane" was removed, since it is obsolite application - not maintained in debian) + 1.
