Hello, can't find the meaning from the capital letter A before the
package name in aptitude, not in the , Faq and man, also looked
around in Google.

So maybe somebody can tell me.

Hello Kees,

The capital A means that aptitude has marked the package as being
automatically installed. This means that the package was installed because
it is a dependency of something you asked to be installed, and will be
uninstalled if you remove that package from your system.

The Package List

The package list displays an ``at-a-glance'' synopsis of a package's state. For
instance, the package webmin might have the following synopsis:

piAU webmin +5837kB <none> 1.160-2

The four characters on the left-hand side of the synopsis show that the package
is not installed (``p''), that it is going to be installed (``i''), that it was
automatically chosen to be installed (``A''), and that it is untrusted (``U'').
On the right-hand side of the synopsis, the current version and the most recent
available version are displayed, along with an indication of how much space will
be used by the upgrade.

Thanks David, that's clear, my mind was pinned on Archive :-/ so there
was no room for other meanings ;-)
