Hi,

I did an "apt-get dist-upgrade" today and my git disappeared.
When I tried to readd it I get:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  git : Depends: libcurl3-gnutls (>= 7.56.1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

To be honest, dist-upgrade wanted to change a lot of packages, so I did
not dig in the detail of each one being removed, but I thought that it
should preserve packages and in case hold-back packages with broken
dependencies?

That is what aptitude does, but since it has issues with its interface
on PPC and is heavy, I preferred apt.get.

Apparently I "lost" other packages, e.g. runnig mach to build ArcticFox
(python 2.7) yields:

   File "/home/multix/code/Arctic-Fox/build/mach_bootstrap.py", line 8,
in <module>
     import json
ImportError: No module named json
