I've been running Debian on the net for a while. I thought it's time to look at keeping packages up to date. But when I run apt-get update:
# apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages have been kept back apache apache-common autoconf debconf debianutils e2fsprogs file fileutils libgd2-noxpm mailman mysql-client mysql-server php4 php4-mysql php4-pear shellutils textutils 40 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 17 not upgraded. Need to get 12.0MB of archives. After unpacking 2192kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. Why are packages being "kept back". These are precisely the packages I want to update. If I try one package: # apt-get install apache Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: apache-common file libdb4.1 libmagic1 libtool The following NEW packages will be installed: libdb4.1 libmagic1 4 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 53 not upgraded. Need to get 2268kB of archives. After unpacking 1954kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. Why does it all of the sudden want to install libmagic1 when I don't have that currently installed at all? Is there a "apt-get update packages just enough so I don't get hacked" command? :-) Mike -- Greedo shoots first?
