How about saying the (approximate) number of removed packages? In any case we have to add a section (maybe after reboot) related to how to find orphaned and/or obsolete packages. I mentioned this in a mail a few months back. Although adding the full list of replaced packages (dummy packages will need to be removed) and/or the list of removed packages is overkilled, some steps on how to find those packages and effectively remove them from the system would be in order. Maybe something similar to what you can read in http://www.debian-administration.org/?article=134 Of course, aptitutde should (again) be recommended. But with the caveat that if you have not used it in woody you will not have the advantage of it tracking which packages did you manually install (one of the biggest differences between checking aptitude's obsolete package list and running deborphan). I'll try to provide a patch for this soon... Regards Javier
