I had a rather frightening apt upgrade experience some moments ago. I
installed a bo system which is similar to my hamm system
(dpkg --get-selections on my hamm system and --set-selections on the
fresh bo system).
Installed apt_0.0.15-0.2bo.
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
I looked briefly at the summary what to install and remove and punched
yes.
Here's the output from the simulated run after reconstruction of
libc5:
Updating package status cache...done
Checking system integrity...ok
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gstep-base-dev xpdf emacs xlib6-dev libpam-util ncurses3.0-dev libg++27-dev
tk40 tk41 libc5-dev libreadline2-dev libdb1-dev libgdbm1-dev tgif
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libmime-base64-perl libpng2 xpm4g libpaperg svgalibg1 freetype1 libdb2
liblockfile0 g++ tk4.2 tk8.0 libstdc++2.8 xaw3dg lesstifg whiptail zlib1g
xlib6g libc5-altdev emacsen-common dpkg-perl pkg-order perl-base sgml-base
libhdf4g emacs19 libgdbmg1 libpam0g tcl8.0 tcl7.6 libg++272 libpng0g

libmpeg1 libpwdb0g libc6 ncurses3.4 libpam0g-util xviewg libcompfaceg1
libjpegg6a libreadlineg2 slang0.99.38
The following packages have been kept back
util-linux imagemagick
291 packages upgraded, 48 newly installed, 14 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Remv emacs [auctex elib ]
Inst emacsen-common [auctex elib ]
Inst elib [auctex ]
Remv libc5 [lsof trn compface wget fetchmail gzip zgv sox libpng1 at
man-db ... and another hundred packages]
Inst libc6
apt-get removed libc5 and that was the end of the upgrade (machine was
broken and I had to reconstruct libc5 from another partition, no big
deal just the testing partition :-).
I'll send the /var/lib/dpkg/status info in separate email, Jason.
Greetings,
Christian

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
