1.3 - 2.0. Am I okay to reboot?

1999-02-20 Thread Chris Wong
WARNING  
 If APT lists lib* in the list of essential packages to remove then
it is very likely you will hose your system by continuing.

This was quoted from the Debian 2.0 update README. I've logged
my 1.3 - 2.0 update, and just noticed something. Is it a big deal?
Is it safe to reboot?

 (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. After unpacking 9057k will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

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!
