This wasn't the only issue ;). This sounds more like testing or unstable. Two hints for you (and the archives): 1. *always* check carefully what the update process is planing to do (even on stable) 2. If you really, really what to prevent a package from being installed you have to configure your system accordingly. For example create a file /etc/apt/preferences.d/no-pulseaudio with following contents: Package: pulseaudio Pin: version * Pin-Priority: -1 Explanation: prevent installation of pulseaudio Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
