Tar dependencies broken?
Fortunately I added the -s option in today's dist-upgrade and saw that
quite a few packages which I regard as important will be removed. I
figured out that it has to do with a new version of tar:
----------------------------------------
$ sudo apt-get install tar
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
alien build-essential cpio debhelper debmake debsums device3dfx-source
dh-make dpkg-dev initrd-tools kernel-package
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 11 to remove and 6 not
upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 492kB of archives. After unpacking 2828kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
-----------------------------------------
Is this a bug or shall I ignore it and hope that by tomorrow the problem
will disappear?
