Recent sid problems - proompting for removal of lvm/dmsetup/cryptsetup
For the past few days my sid system (AMD64) has been trying
to remove LVM, cryptsetup, and dmsetup.
Given that my system is based upon LVM and I have several
encrypted volumes I've not yet accepted these decisions.
This is current output:
# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
capplets-data gnome-accessibility gnome-applets gnome-applets-data
gnome-bluetooth gnome-cards-data gnome-control-center gnome-core
gnome-games gnome-games-data gnome-power-manager gnome-session gnome-session-bin
gnome-settings-daemon gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad libavcodec52
libavformat52 libgnome-window-settings1 libgstreamer0.10-0 nautilus
Running dist-upgrade shows this:
# apt-get dist-upgrade
The following packages will be REMOVED
cryptsetup dmsetup epiphany-browser epiphany-extensions libseed0 libslab0 lvm2
The following NEW packages will be installed
devicekit-disks devicekit-power hdparm libatasmart4 libclutter-1.0-0 libclutter-gtk-0.10-0 libdevkit-power-gobject1 libgnomekbd4 libmpcdec6 libslab0a libx264-78

libgstreamer0.10-0 nautilus
20 upgraded, 13 newly installed, 7 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 53.8MB/53.8MB of archives.
So .. am I missing something obvious? Is there a bogus conflict here which is
messing me about? Or horror of horror - Am I crazy and is removing LVM the
correct thing to do these days?
Please bear in mind my root filesystem, amongst others, are LVM-mounts:
/dev/mapper/gold--vol-root on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro)
TIA for any guidance.
