APT-GET Odd Behavior
Hello, this is my first time in contacting this list. It appears (to me at
least...) that when I do apt-get dist-upgrade, he wants to get rid of KDE (or
most of it). This IS NOT what I want....I just want to upgrade packages (not
get rid of most of them installed on my system...). This is the first tim
anything like this has EVER happened (it wants to REMOVE 118 programs for one
update, just dist-upgrade.....). I wasn't sure why it's doing this......
Below is what it wants to do:
root@WolfLinux:/etc/apt# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:

Thanks for all your work! (Apt is really a great tool....I use it often!)
I am rather a newb, and nost sure what's causing this.....if you want to see
my sources.list I will comply.....It wants to (I noted as VERY strange)
remove karamba that I just installed (using apt-get) a couple hours ago on
this machine...I found that as VERY strange.
Thanks!
