Hello,
I'm using "aptitude full-upgrade" to keep my debian testing
installations up-to-date.
For a reason that I do not understand, currently full-upgrade wants to
install some rather huge packages.
Please consider the output of "aptitude -D full-upgrade" below. I do
not see any reason to install texlive-fonts-extra, and aptitude also
does not seem to see one. But it still wants to install the package.
Why?
Asking aptitude itself doesn't help:
# aptitude why texlive-fonts-extra
i kernel-package Suggests xmlto
p xmlto Depends docbook-xml (>= 4.2-8)
p docbook-xml Suggests docbook
p docbook Suggests psgml
p psgml Suggests debiandoc-sgml
p debiandoc-sgml Suggests texlive-lang-all
p texlive-lang-all Depends texlive-lang-polish (>= 2012.20120516)
p texlive-lang-polish Suggests texlive-fonts-extra
Any suggestions?
Christoph
