dumb1224hi12:44
ebelhello12:45
dumb1224Hi I have a question of aptitude12:45
ebelAsk away12:46
dumb1224it asks me to remove packages not need after I removed a software called rabbitvcs12:46
ebel!ask12:46
lubotu3Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)12:46
dumb1224thnks I'm fairly new to irc12:47
ebelNothing wrong with removing old software packages if they aren't needed anymore12:47
dumb1224aptitude asked me to also remove subversion{u} python{u} etc about 9 packages which I am using12:48
ebelhmmm12:50
dumb1224same happened if I want to remove freenx which is a remote desktop control server12:51
ebelIf you go "sudo aptitude install subversion" then it should remember that you want that installed12:51
dumb1224it asked me to also remove openssh-server since its not need,,tats not right?12:51
ebel(aptitude keeps track of things that are installed when you tell it to install the package and when it's installed as a dependency from another package)12:51
ebelpython should be installed by default and shouldn't be removed.12:52
ebelHow did you install openssh-server?12:52
dumb1224ok...what does the {u} flag mean?12:52
ebelcan't remember what {u} means, miiiiight be "needs upgrade"12:52
ebeltry do an upgrade & dist-upgrade. just to be safe12:53
dumb1224it was installed before freenx, but freenx requires openssh12:53
dumb1224you mean upgrade the system to the next release?12:54
ebelno, not to the next release, just upgrade all the software12:54
dumb1224it's quite old, it's an 8.04 lts12:54
dumb1224oh12:54
ebelah12:55
ebelmaybe that's what the {u} means.12:55
ebel(things need upgrading?)12:55
ebelyou can stay on 8.0412:55
dumb1224hmmmm right. how do I upgrade a package using aptitude?12:55
ebeljust a normal "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade"12:56
ebelthat'll upgrade all the software, but keep you on 8.0412:56
dumb1224right I'll give it a try12:56
