> Hi,
> During the upgrade, autoup.sh must remove several critical
> packages in order to upgrade them i.e. in bo, perl is one package; in
> hamm perl is provided by perl-base and perl. The hamm version of perl
> depends on perl-base, but perl-base conflicts with the bo version of
> perl. Therefore it is necessary to remove the bo version of perl.
>
> Since many packages depend upon perl, dpkg must deconfigure these
> packages, then remove perl. It then installs perl-base and perl in
> sequence and configures the packages that were unconfigured.
> During that process, a number of alarming warning messages are
> generated.
>
> If autoup.sh completes normally (displays a message saying you
> now have a libc6 system, and discusses wtmp and utmp), all of these
> warning messages may be ignored.
>
> When you enter dselect after autoup finishes, the best course of
> action is to use the access, update and install modules - don't even
> enter the select module. In that case all packages on your system
> that have an upgraded version (almost all of them) are automatically
> upgraded without any further action on your part. You are then free
> to use the select function to add any package you might desire. Most
> development libraries are removed by autoup.sh, and are not
> automatically replaced. Autoup.sh creates a file
> "removed-<today's_date>" in the current directory recording the
> packages that were removed. This provides a guide to the packages
