Exim4 in Debian?
Hi All: First of all, maybe 2weeks ago Debian altered an upgrade dialogue.
While I preferred the previous one, this one mentions available space which may
be a factor. Next, I am noticing here in Debian SID that packages I use
regularly are mysteriously vanishing. Maybe sometimes in a long list of an
autoremove or even a just plain remove among my daily updates. For many weeks I
was having issues with Alpine-and-mail folders. Well, among
removing-and-re-installing trn4 I had been missing exim4. Once that was
installed again, now my mail works well. Just today while trying to
trouble-shoot issues with youtube-viewer, to my surprise git was gone, so I
manually installed. I would like to offer a suggestion. Why not have an
interacative flag such as an -i in apt which would offer a numbered menu of
packages to be upgraded or removed? We could either select numbers from that
menu either to exclude or accept. Lets say there are 28 packages to remove,
menu number 29 could be for all, while typing combinations of those first 28
would better protect against packages going in a Bermuda Triangle. I surely
don't mind an upgrade or replacement, but nuking a package which is still
available, well, that may not be helpful. Thanks so much for listening.
Chime
