Most of the removals look to be packages that have either been dropped from the distro or are (temporarily) not in testing. The lists below are not complete: I've not checked all packages. Currently not in testing: acl2 acl2-books acl2-emacs acl2-infix akregator-i18n akregator-konq-plugin akregator-kontact-plugin aqsis aqsis-libs aqsis-libs-dev arla bibletime bibletime-i18n boa-constructor Dropped from Debian: abiword-doc akode alsa-headers amarok-arts amarok-gstreamer animal-dev animal0 arpd base-config beecrypt2 beecrypt2-dev bibview bonobo bonobo-conf brahms capplets castle-combat-data gnustep-back mlchat ocaml-ioxml ocaml-omom ocaml-zoggy Most other removals are straight upgrades of packages with a version in the package name. Then there are also some expected replacements, like netkit-inetd by openbsd-inetd. There are some removals that may be worth looking into: - all the aspell* packages - amarok - jackd I'm also very surprised that all of gcc3.4, gcc4.0 and gcc4.1 are being installed! Also the number of python packages getting installed is huge (probably just deps though). I suspect that the system had a fairly big number of "obsolete" packages left over after the upgrade: a much larger number of libraries is getting installed than is getting removed. Probably due to the fact that they were not marked as "auto" in aptitude. Cheers, FJP
