As you can see, the 1 package that needs to be upgraded is kept back (missing dep), but it seems it still tries to upgrade the other dependencies of the "new" gnucash (which isn't being upgraded to anyway). Sort of a nit, since gnucash should be able to install, but maybe apt could ignore installing new packages to satisfy deps for a package that isn't being upgraded anyway. -- .----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=-----. / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
