My last update, yesterday removed synaptic & aptitude from my systems as part of the process. I tried again this morning & it also had removed dselect. I reinstalled dselect but aptitude & synaptic neither one will install due to unmet dependencies. This is a first for me after many years of using Debian. Has anyone else reported or seen this issue.
Pasted from dselect: -** Imp libs libept1 High-level library for managing Debian package in ** Std python python-apt Python interface to libapt-pkg ** Opt admin debtags Enables support for package tags -** Opt admin synaptic Graphical package manager Hit enter key & I get this: Merging available information Replacing available packages info, using /var/cache/apt/available. warning, in file '/var/cache/apt/available' near line 597521 package 'scribble': `Replaces' field, reference to `scrabble': `<' is obsolete, use `<=' or `<<' instead warning, in file '/var/cache/apt/available' near line 597522 package 'scribble': `Conflicts' field, reference to `scrabble': `<' is obsolete, use `<=' or `<<' instead Information about 29246 package(s) was updated.
