I'm running sid with the 2.16.1 kernel, kde 3.5.2 and xorg 6.9. I would like to upgrade to xorg 7.0, but when I tried doing a dist-upgrade with apt this morning, apt wanted to remove a lot of kde stuff (see below) so I aborted the upgrade.
The following packages will be REMOVED: 3ddesktop amarok-engines amarok-xine bittornado-gui brutalchess enemylines7 freeglut3 gstreamer0.8-plugins gstreamer0.8-x kaffeine kaffeine-gstreamer kaffeine-mozilla kaffeine-xine kcontrol kde-amusements kde-core kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase kdegraphics kdesktop kmplayer konq-plugins konqueror kpovmodeler krita kscreensaver kwin-baghira lbxproxy libarts1-xine libfltk1.1 libgle3 libqt0-ruby1.8 libqt4-gui libsmokeqt1 libvisual0.2-plugins libwxgtk2.6-0 libxine1 lsb lsb-qt4 mozilla-plugin-vlc planetpenguin-racer proxymngr python-wxgtk2.6 tuxracer vimpart vlc vlc-plugin-alsa vlc-plugin-svgalib wxvlc xfree86-common xfwp xlibmesa-glu xpp xscreensaver-gl xserver-common Would it be safe to simply install xorg 7 without doing a full dist-upgrade?
