A strangely different result:
- it complains about gnome being broken
- it doesn't want to remove gnome this time - but kde.
(... apt-get didn't complain about kde at all...)
How can it be possible that two tools trying to do the same thing
propose so much differing solutions?
I am not using kde for the moment - and wouldn't mind to deinstall it
if only I could be sure that the system still continues to work after
the update...
What do you think should I do?
Thanks, Dietrich
