Re: installation of a package requests removal of a lot of packages
you know, i have following this thread and find it
strange<g>
i ran aptitude update and then ran aptitude upgrade,
and look:
HighNet:/usr/local# aptitude upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED:
libsysfs1 pmount totem totem-xine
The following packages have been kept back:
bash nano ssh sysvinit
The following packages will be upgraded:
libgadu3
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove
and 4 not upgraded.
Need to get 63.3kB of archives. After unpacking 3871kB
will be freed.
now i know that i still use totem as well as pmount.
now WHY is aptitude trying to remove them?
Peace...................ed
