Ubuntu Software Center is so sl-o-o-o-o-w... Seriously, I can launch a virtual machine with some Windows apps faster than it takes Software Center to load!
I dislike Software Center so much I installed Synaptic ages ago, and that loads in 2 seconds! Perfect. Well almost - I can't seem to open downloaded .debs with it. Can I change things so that Synaptic opens .debs by default?

If you are using an OS based on the Synaptic Package Manager, you must have noticed by now that when trying to install a new package through Synaptic, it draws in miscellaneous packages that are needed for the program to work. These packages are called dependencies.
Hi all.
I'm trying to find a way to generate a list of all RPMS on a system that are not dependencies of other rpms.
Said another way, I want to generate the smallest possible list of RPMs that would re-create the system after all the dependencies are installed.
Said yet another way...
I currently use Xubuntu and was considering installing/trying GNOME Shell or Cinnamon by installing their respective metapackage. However, doing so would result in a massive number of dependencies being installed which would be almost impossible to remove individually at a later date if I decided I didn't like it.
I was installing VLC media player (using yumex) with the mass quantity of dependencies -- and during the install of the packages I got the message:
Code:
11:52:03 : YUM: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 8fcff4da
11:52:03 : Downloaded : rpmfusion-free/gpgkey ( 0 )
I'm using aptitude as package manager. If one marks packages for removal it calculates the changing in disk usage, i.e. how much space is freed by removing that package and its automatically installed, otherwise unused dependencies.
Is there a way (not necessarily within aptitude) to get this number for, say, all packages marked manually installed?

I have uninstalled most unused session managers, but there are a few that still show among the options at login.
I am trying to create a Fedora 17 compatible RPM for a Gnome3 panel indicator. I already support Debs for this Gnome3 indicator.
I cannot find the equivalent RPM packages for the indicator's dependencies.
