apt-get appears to be getting rather enthusiastic about fiddling with
installed packages. I tried to run 'apt-get install liblocale-gettext-perl'
(that package was listed as held back in a previous 'apt-get upgrade'
invocation), and got the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
neptune:~# apt-get install liblocale-gettext-perl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
perl-5.004-base perl-5.004 perl-base perl-5.004-suid perl-5.004-doc
perl-5.005-base fvwm-common xlogmaster
The following packages will be REMOVED:
netscape-base-4 navigator-smotif-451 communicator-smotif-451 libmd5-perl

Need to get 4810kB/5163kB of archives. After unpacking 49.2MB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't see why these packages are even being considered here - there don't
appear to be any dependencies between them. Anyway, even if they are it
appears to be taking random - but consistent - potshots at my packages. I'd
quite like it if this wasn't the case :-)
Dependency versions:
ii libc6 2.1.1-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and [...]
ii libstdc++2.9-gl 2.91.66-2 The GNU stdc++ library (EGCS version)
$ uname -a
