should I install x-window-system-core
Code:
The following packages have been kept back: |
x-window-system-core is a "meta-package" that provides as dependencies the core packages that are needed for running the X Window System (X11). Debian testing has recently upgraded the X Window System from XFree86 to X.Org, so it's OK to let APT remove the old packages and replace them with newer versions. Normally you'd want to upgade packages with the "aptitude dist-upgrade" command.

The most annoying of them would be aptitude also wants to install Recommended packages. Recommended packages aren't necessary packages for an app to work, but can add features or support for xyz... I really didn't like my experience with aptitude, I ende up with a lot of packages I didn't use that were recommended by some maintainers... Anyway, the choice is there |
If you don't want aptitude to install recommended packages, add this to /etc/apt/apt.conf (if this file doesn't exist, you can create it):
Code:
Aptitude::Recommends-Important "false"; But if you want aptitude to install both recommended and suggested packages, add this to /etc/apt/apt.conf instead: Code:
Aptitude::Recommends-Important "true"; |
great :D
|
Or just do
sudo aptitude hit F10 use arrow to head to options scroll down to dependancey handling Install reccommended pakages automatically I also untick; remove unused pakages automatically |

If you start aptitude as root, the changes will be written to /root/.aptitude/config but if you start it as a normal user, then the changes will go to ~/.aptitude/config . Person'lly, I like to keep all APT related configurations in just one place: /etc/apt/apt.conf . Aptitude has an extensive documentation in /usr/share/aptitude/README . |
Good point:)
