I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but that package only contains /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf, not /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf. > That is, we could advise users to run > > apt list \!~i~important > apt list \!~i~pstandard On my PC, after upgrading to trixie, /etc/sysctl.conf had been removed (or, more precisely, it had been renamed to sysctl.conf.dpkg-bak). None of the packages suggested by those commands appears that it could have prevented that. (Actually, isn't there a "p" before "important" missing in the first command? It does not appear to work without it.) Thanks. Regards, Samuel Plavec
