I am aware that dist-upgrade can remove packages, but I thought this is only when other packages replace them. In this case, there is no replacement, only a conflict. Usually I see this state as broken with aptitude giving options to work around the breakage - often holding back or removing packages. There was no conflict given for gnucash[-common] today and aptitude/apt-get was just going to remove gnucash without prompting me for a resolution. This seems wrong, and was the point of my original posting. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
