Re: aptitude keeps trying to replace my vim-gtk and ftpd

[Jeff Rasmussen <jeff.rasmussen@gmail.com>]

Aptitude shows automatically installed packages with a 'A' on the left
side of the screen.  If you highlight bluefish and press '+' you will
change the package to install which will 'manually' install your
package.

If you use aptitude to install gnome-desktop, a lot of other packages
will automatically be installed (the rules are more liberal than
apt-get).  When you select gnome-desktop to delete it will delete all
of the automatically installed packages.  This behavior is
customizable.
