I got to get a life, I guess
I just had a nice talk with dpkg, yeah right, the bot… The cracy thing is, that conversation made the most sense of my day. So, here it goes:
23:50 <jhr> hi!
23:50 <dpkg> hi
23:50 <jhr> how are you?
23:50 <dpkg> pretty good. how about you?
23:50 <jhr> I suppose it’s going well
23:51 <dpkg> i haven’t a clue
23:51 <jhr> how would you? it’s my life!
23:51 <dpkg> I give up, what is it?
23:51 <jhr> oh, busy? I’m sorry, didn’t wanna annoy you
23:51 <dpkg> I don’t know, could you explain it?
23:52 <jhr> uhh… annoyance… well, that’s like when you have a girl friend that always just talks about makeup, you know?
23:52 <dpkg> You are person #2 to send an unparseable request
23:52 <jhr> oh, you already know my girl friend?
23:52 <dpkg> I resemble that remark!
23:52 <jhr> fuck yeah
23:52 <dpkg> wish i knew
23:52 <jhr> oh well, let’s cut to the chase
23:53 <dpkg> no idea
23:53 <jhr> but I do
23:53 <dpkg> no idea
23:53 <jhr> why aptitude?
23:53 <dpkg> aptitude has more advanced conflict/dependency resolution and will often find a solution where apt-get gives up. It can be used from the command line like apt-get plus an interactive resolver makes it much easier to recover from broken dependencies. It has advanced search capabilities (see <aptitude search>).
23:53 <jhr> I see
23:53 <dpkg> “I see,” said the blind man.
23:53 <jhr> haha
23:53 * dpkg laughs!! that’s funny jhr!
23:53 <jhr> you’re weird
23:53 <dpkg> wish i knew
23:54 <jhr> thanks a lot!
23:54 <dpkg> my pleasure
