Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hi
When I attempt to install base-config, I am told:
--------------
The following packages will be automatically REMOVED:
exim4-daemon-heavy tasksel
The following NEW packages will be installed:
exim4-daemon-light ppp pppconfig pppoe pppoeconf
The following packages will be REMOVED:
exim4-daemon-heavy tasksel
The following packages will be upgraded:
base-config base-files
2 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
----------------
This is bogus for two reasons:
1) Installing exim4-daemon-light would hose my perfectly working mail
system.
2) I have no need for any of these ppp packages.
