Hi, After upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze I have some dhcp3 dummy packages.
--------------<quote>--------------------------------- linbobo:~# aptitude show dhcp3-client Package: dhcp3-client State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze3 Priority: extra Section: oldlibs Maintainer: Debian ISC DHCP maintainers <pkg-dhcp-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Uncompressed Size: 36.9 k Depends: isc-dhcp-client Provided by: isc-dhcp-client Description: ISC DHCP server (transitional package) This is the client from the Internet Software Consortium's implementation of DHCP. For more information visit http://www.isc.org. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol like BOOTP (actually dhcpd includes much of the functionality of bootpd). It gives client machines "leases" for IP addresses and can automatically set their network configuration. If your machine depends on DHCP (especially likely if it's a workstation on a large network, or a laptop, or attached to a cable modem), keep this or another DHCP client installed. This is a dummy package to aid in transitioning from the v3 DHCP packages to the new-style DHCP packages. This dummy package may be safely removed after upgrading to squeeze --------------<quote>--------------------------------- So I wanted to remove the dummy package but.... --------------<quote>--------------------------------- linbobo:~# aptitude remove dhcp3-client The following packages will be REMOVED: dhcp3-client isc-dhcp-client{u} 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 680 kB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] n Abort. --------------<quote>--------------------------------- When I want to remove the dummy dhcp3 package, the real isc package also gets removed. This is probably one of those simply to answer questions and probably has a easy answer, but I am unable to find it. :-( Bonno Bloksma -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
