Suppose you would like to remove some package, in order to recover some space (e.g. you installed Slackware on you old eeepc 701
).
#pktgool offers a very nice interface that allows to easily check packages information (I guess by reading in /var/log/packages ) and remove them (as well as other tasks).
When you run the interface, you have to choose
between removing, or reading the description. In particular, once you choose to "Remove", you see the installed packages list (but without any possibility of reading more). Conversely, if you choose to "View", you can read everything you need but then only "Exit".
For instance, suppose you choose "Remove" and find "kopete" in the installed packages. To understand its functionality, you have to switch back the menu, search for it in the "View" tab, then finally go back again.
To be clear: I definitely have no problem with that
But, in case, it would be nice to know if there was a quicker way for doing this procedure. In case of not, I'd like to offer my 2 cents by suggesting adding this functionality, hoping not to bother anyone
Summing up: adding the tab "Info" to the pkgtool menu "Remove" (other than "Ok" and "Cancel") would probably make package-administration quicker.
