[TriLUG] URPMI and Emacs

[John F Davis]

Tanner,

It always has a confirmation step, which will list the packages to
add/delete.  But, it won't say, "Whoa, you are going to delete package A,
and B as well.  Are you sure you wanna do that?"  It will just put packages
A and B in the package remove list.

Will it ask you before doing so?  (Generally a good thing, just
in case... :-)

So, it seems that, functionally, apt and urpmi are equivalent.

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
