Greets,
I am wondering how broken Sarge would become if I
allowed an unstable install of libgphoto2-2 to
complete.
I changed the apt sources list from stable to
unstable. Then ran apt-get update. That took a
while. Then I ran apt-get install libgphoto2-2. It
spit out the following:
The following extra packages will be installed:

15 upgraded, 15 newly installed, 6 to remove and 821
not upgraded.
Need to get 17.0MB of archives.
The part that really concerned me is the REMOVED:. Is
this the actual Kernels being un-installed? If so,
what's up with that?
I said no I don't want to do this. I changed the
sources list back to stable and ran apt-get update
again.
Would this have been OK to do? I kind of doubt it.
Thanks.
