I'm trying and it was not a momentary fancy that drove me. But I really want
to understand what's going on here. So is it a bug or is it a feature?
The funny thing is, that all the kde packages apt-get wants to remove are
from sarge already. So is apt-get trying to upgrade to unstable? But then he
should do a lot more than just remove kde. And I did not give him a URL to
the unstable distribution.
Well, I tried apt-get with -u flag. I got a long list of the intended
actions. Among them are lines reading e.g.
Inst sysv-rc (2.85-9 Debian:testing) [libqt3 libqt3-mt ]
The first part is obvious. But what does the part in the last brackets mean?
It can't be dependencies, can it?
