I am sorry, you are indeed correct. What I should have requested is: a way |
31 |
to have the package list output in non-interactive, package-installing (that |

is, not --pretend) execution. It may be that --pretend is a little |
33 |
over-loaded currently. (I was confused, at any rate, as you can see.) |
