However it might be easier to change the following behavior: > because none of the packages listed are safe to remove, dpkg > says “oh, screw it” and picks one _arbitrarily_ to remove first.

Thus assuming that the program/user actually knows what it/he does. Regards, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
