libreadline2-dev will be removed in favor of libreadlineg2 (which is needed for the bash that comes with hamm). You might want to install libreadlineg2-dev by the way, but it is not needed for normal operation. libnet is replaced by libnet-perl. So, I don't seen any problems and I'd say go for it! > > ---- (my stuff) ---- > # apt-get dist-upgrade > Updating package status cache...done > Checking system integrity...ok > The following packages will be REMOVED: > libnet libreadline2-dev > The following NEW packages will be installed: > libmime-base64-perl libdb2 liblockfile0 libnet-perl libstdc++2.8 whiptail > zlib1g pkg-order perl-base libgdbmg1 tcl7.6 libg++272 newt0.21 data-dumper > libc6 ncurses3.4 libcompfaceg1 libreadlineg2 slang0.99.38 > The following packages have been kept back > util-linux > 138 packages upgraded, 19 newly installed, 2 to remove and 1 not upgraded. > Need to get 39.9M of archives.
