\_ SMTP quoth der.hans on 3/14/2001 01:31 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ moin, moin,
\_
\_ spliff:/home/lufthans# apt-test --purge remove jed-common
\_ Reading Package Lists... Done
\_ Building Dependency Tree... Done
\_ The following extra packages will be installed:
\_ libc6 libc6-dev libfreetype6 locales xfree86-common
\_ [...]
\_ Why would it need to upgrade libc to remove a package?
I had a fun one. I installed red-carpet from helixgnome, and it
wanted to upgrade me...by removing all those crufty old kernels I
had. Each and every one of the kernels installed. (Keeping in mind
that I have the latest distro from RH running...) That's not
inconvenient, is it?
OOoh, there's more: upgrading 'xpdf' wants to also remove that
accursed 'XFree86' package.
It's pretty and all, but I think I'm passing on the red carpet.
