apt wants to remove 526 packages!!?
Hello,
I usually do a
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
every couple of days. When there are bugs I just put packages on hold
and wait it out, and after a month I try them individually, and if
they are still buggy, then I leave them on hold.
I decided tonight I was sick of this, so I would do apt-get dist-upgrade.
It says it needs to update 6, install 12 new ones, remove 526, and hold 20.
Now I am afraid to do this.
Remove 526 packages!!? What's going on? Will my system still work? It
took me a long time to get it to this point, and I would __hate__ to
have to start all over if things get messed up.
Here is the list of stuff it says it needs to remove:
