testing dist-upgrade (upgrade apt ... remove vital packages!?)
This morning I went in to work and started to perform the usual apt-get -f
dist-upgrade on my testing box. Luckily I always throw in a -s into the
equation first so that I can see what is about to happen:
1) I upgraded to the unstable apt (0.5.0) about a week or two ago.
2) Now, testing wants to upgrade to the new testing version, (0.5.3). No
problem, yet . . .
3) To do so, my current version of apt wants to remove the following
packages to do that upgrade:
Remv adduser (3.32 Debian:testing)
Remv base-config (0.56 Debian:testing)
Remv bsdmainutils (5.20010126-3 Debian:testing)
Remv lynx-ssl (2.8.3.1-1 Debian:testing)
Remv xserver-xfree86 (4.0.2-7 Debian:testing)
Remv lprng (3.7.4-3 Debian:testing)
Remv ghostview (1.5-23 Debian:testing)
Remv gs (5.10-10.1 Debian:testing)
Remv enscript (1.6.2-4 Debian:testing)
Remv libpaperg (1.0.5 Debian:testing)
Remv esound-common (0.2.22-3 Debian:testing)
Remv realplayer (8.0.2 Debian:testing)
Remv skipstone (0.7-1 Debian:testing)
Remv tpctl-source (0.8.1-5 Debian:testing)
Remv debhelper (3.0.8 Debian:testing)
Remv lynx (2.8.3-1 Debian:testing)
Remv debconf (0.5.65 )
Inst apt (0.5.3 Debian:testing)
Conf apt (0.5.3 Debian:testing)
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Bryan
