For the past few days my sid system (AMD64) has been trying to remove LVM, cryptsetup, and dmsetup.
Given that my system is based upon LVM and I have several encrypted volumes I've not yet accepted these decisions. This is current output: # apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: capplets-data gnome-accessibility gnome-applets gnome-applets-data gnome-bluetooth gnome-cards-data gnome-control-center gnome-core gnome-games gnome-games-data gnome-power-manager gnome-session gnome-session-bin gnome-settings-daemon gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad libavcodec52 libavformat52 libgnome-window-settings1 libgstreamer0.10-0 nautilus Running dist-upgrade shows this: # apt-get dist-upgrade The following packages will be REMOVED cryptsetup dmsetup epiphany-browser epiphany-extensions libseed0 libslab0 lvm2 The following NEW packages will be installed devicekit-disks devicekit-power hdparm libatasmart4 libclutter-1.0-0 libclutter-gtk-0.10-0 libdevkit-power-gobject1 libgnomekbd4 libmpcdec6 libslab0a libx264-78 libxklavier15 obexd-client The following packages will be upgraded: capplets-data gnome-accessibility gnome-applets gnome-applets-data gnome-bluetooth gnome-cards-data gnome-control-center gnome-core gnome-games gnome-games-data gnome-power-manager gnome-session gnome-session-bin gnome-settings-daemon gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad libavcodec52 libavformat52 libgnome-window-settings1 libgstreamer0.10-0 nautilus 20 upgraded, 13 newly installed, 7 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 53.8MB/53.8MB of archives. So .. am I missing something obvious? Is there a bogus conflict here which is messing me about? Or horror of horror - Am I crazy and is removing LVM the correct thing to do these days? Please bear in mind my root filesystem, amongst others, are LVM-mounts: /dev/mapper/gold--vol-root on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro) TIA for any guidance.
