Package: debdelta Version: 0.67 Severity: wishlist Hi!
I have some packages on hold in my system (so, for now, they are not updated/upgraded when running apt). For example: ===== # apt upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back: dh-python libacme-damn-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libapt-pkg-perl libb-hooks-op-check-perl libc++1 libc++1-9 libc++abi1-9 libclass-xsaccessor-perl libclone-perl libcpanel-json-xs-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl libdata-messagepack-perl libdevel-callchecker-perl libdevel-size-perl libemail-address-xs-perl libfcgi-perl libfile-fcntllock-perl libfile-libmagic-perl libforks-perl libhash-fieldhash-perl libhtml-parser-perl libio-pty-perl liblist-moreutils-perl liblocale-gettext-perl libmouse-perl libnet-idn-encode-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libossp-uuid-perl libparams-classify-perl libparams-util-perl libparams-validate-perl libperlio-gzip-perl libproc-processtable-perl libpython2-dev libpython2-stdlib libre-engine-re2-perl libsereal-decoder-perl libsereal-encoder-perl libsocket6-perl libsort-key-perl libsub-identify-perl libsub-name-perl libsvn-perl libterm-readline-gnu-perl libtext-charwidth-perl libtext-iconv-perl libtext-levenshteinxs-perl libtext-markdown-discount-perl libtext-xslate-perl libtime-moment-perl libunicode-linebreak-perl libunicode-utf8-perl libvariable-magic-perl libxml-libxml-perl libxml-parser-perl libyaml-libyaml-perl ndiff nmap nmap-common perl perl-base python2 python2-dev python2-minimal rxvt-unicode The following packages will be upgraded: aptitude aptitude-common arp-scan libprocps8 procps 5 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 66 not upgraded. Need to get 4039 kB of archives. After this operation, 670 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue?
