When I want to install xz-utils (from experimental) on a Debian/unstable machine, apt-get wants to remove lzma because xz-utils conflicts with it. I get the following warning:
WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed. This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing! lzma (due to dpkg) However xz-utils provides lzma, so I don't see what could be wrong. So, is it OK? Since lzma has been replaced by xz-utils upstream, shouldn't xz-utils be essential instead of lzma? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
