I don't want it to be a general purpose GUI wrapper for apt, and don't think that is a good use of resources, either. The source code is there, though, if you feel differently.
I know. I just doesn't want to spent another time and root FS space to install aptitude, synaptic, KPackage or else.

OK guys, you just replace one problem with another and don't solve any. 'aptitude' does exist now and it would be used after that because the limits of cripple HAM will force anybody move to normal packet management. Just spent two minutes and think how you would explain some inexperienced N900 user how to handle the removal of library which is not seen in HAM. If you don't want to do it then somebody else will spend a time in forum trying to explain it. Just because he needs it to fix his problem.

Nice...
