I agree that pirut is misleading in its dialog boxes; however, you
should be able to prevent it from doing anything stupid if you read
through each dialog box including the expansion arrows! I think it would
be better if the expansion arrow in the dialog box when it
installs/updates/removes stuff for dependencies is open by default.
