Hi, Yesterday I wondered how much MBs I'd have to download to upgrade my hamm system (plus *some* slink stuff in there) to slink, so I set my sources.list and did 'apt-get update' + 'apt-get upgrade' (and answered 'no' ;).
This showed numerous packages as being 'kept back': The following packages have been kept back zgv libtiff3g-dev mc most aalib1 lynx eeyes xv ncftp gnome-panel xbase aumix elvis g++ util-linux imlib-progs xemacs20-nomule tk8.0 minicom jdk1.1-dev apache transfig whiptail libreadlineg2-dev dialog gnome-utils tk8.0-dev libobgnome0 octave screen tcl8.0-dev libgtkxmhtml0 xemacs20-bin tcl8.0 xdelta bsdmainutils libjpeg-progs egcc ddd xserver-common ncurses-bin gdb netstd bash libtiff3g kbd xpaint gnome-core libgpmg1 procps joe dpkg cftp libobgtk1 gpm libgnome0 gimp tcsh-i18n statserial bc ae less lftp rpm libreadlineg2 tcsh tya Now to my understanding this means that these packages *are* already installed, but will not be upgraded to the versions in slink because of some potential dependency/conflict problems. What kind of effect will this have on my system? How to find out what kind of conflicts there are, and how to go about to fix them? I also have a remark concerning the current apt package in slink: Although the man-pages refer to documentation in /usr/doc/apt (ie. guide.text.gz), these documents are no longer available. My previous version of apt (0.16-1 I think, pretty old), did have these docs in the package. Could this be considered as a bug?
