Hi
I am new here. I have noticed one problem with aptitude. When I install package 'vlc' , total 23 packages are installed. But when I purge 'vlc' using aptitude
only 22 packages are purged. There is this package 'ttf-freefont' which is kept back by the aptitude, though 'apt-cache show vlc' shows that 'vlc' depends on 'ttf-freefont'. which means aptitude should have automatically purged 'ttf-freefont' when i 'aptitude purge vlc'. i have already posted this problem here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... p?t=446108
so i dont know whats problem here. is this some kind of bug in aptitude.
regards

Maybe another package is depending on it?
and look in Reverse Depends.
Code: Select all
apt-cache showpkg ttf-freefont
