Hi All, I just did apt-get update followed by dist-upgrade on a Beowulf system, and I get this:

Need to get 2,763 kB of archives. After this operation, 20.0 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. I did apt-get install on brltty and the mate packages to mark them as manually installed, but apt-get update dist-upgrade again still insists on removing them. Is this a known issue? If yes, then what is the work around. I don't want to uninstall a well running desktop just so I can install it again. Thanks. As far as install report for this system, it was upgraded to Beowulf from a minimal fresh Ascii install back in June with no problems.
