Package: sysv-rc Version: 2.87dsf-4 Severity: normal today's upgrade brought up a message from sysv-rc about the change to a "dependency based boot system" and some issues the upgrade apparently has with my system. but that issues report is basically useless, sonce it is in a language incomprehensibly to humans:
package foo removed by not purged, what is that supposed to mean? from the full report (see below) i gather the problems are related to postgresql-8.3, system-tools-backends and virtualbox-ose. please fix that description to make people actually understand waht happend instead of leaving them frustrated and annoyed with careless written messages that cause more issues than the try to solve.
