Re: tntnet

When I try to remove it via synaptic, it reports that, in addition to
the tntnet packages, another "unchanged" package will be "held back
and not upgraded" . . . that other package is google-chrome-stable.

I couldn't quite figure out why it's there though.  It's not listed as
a dependencie of that chrome package.  Anyone know what that verbiage
means?

For now, I just turned the service off.
