Package: apt Version: 0.6.46.4 Severity: wishlist Hello
"apt-get dist-upgrade" from sarge to etch wants to remove too much packages when backports.org is used in /etc/apt/preferences. Although this is of course a user problem, its a quite common to use backports.org and and Debian should handle this by printing a warning at "dist-upgrade" time if there's anything in the preferences file (optionally: ... that has a higher priority than the new etch packages) bye, -christian- -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-amd64 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2006.11.22 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
