Savannah Hackers, On the download VM I see this:
download:~# dpkg --get-selections | grep -c hold 91 Out of: download:~# grep-status -s Package -n "install ok installed" | wc -l 242 That is a lot of held packages. I think it unlikely that it is in a desired state. Some of the held packages are very unusual to hold such as the debian-archive-keyring package. I am just going to guess that some hold command got away from someone and will start working through upgrades of those regardless. Unless someone says something otherwise. :-) Bob
