Hi, Everyone! Just sending out a feeler as a heads up for anyone who whips through upgrades without noting the package manager's "fine print". This is what I'm looking at this morning:
+++ The following NEW packages will be installed: libisl15 The following packages will be upgraded: cpp-5 g++-5 gcc-5 gcc-5-base libalgorithm-c3-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libasan2 libatomic1 libcc1-0 libcilkrts5 libfreetype6 libgcc-5-dev libgcc1 libgfortran3 libgomp1 libitm1 liblsan0 libmpx0 libpango-perl libpcre16-3 libpcre3 libquadmath0 libssh-gcrypt-4 libstdc++-5-dev libstdc++6 libtsan0 libubsan0 lp-solve php-codecoverage 30 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded. Need to get 74.6 MB/75.1 MB of archives. After this operation, 111 MB disk space will be freed. +++ **111 MB disk space will be freed.** That is a LOT of space getting ready to be freed up if NOTHING is being auto/removed by apt-get. I do have a growing list of packages that are suggested for removal but apt's not being asked to do so nor is apt removing them on its own at this time. My hesitation in removing them is because I'm not sure those packages are truly obsolete on my current setup. What I'll be doing is.... back things up then let apt-get have its head to see what happens. Again, this is just being put out there as a heads up because that's an ALARMING amount of space going to be freed up when the number is more often something like 10 to maybe 100 *KB* max... Am headed outside to do chores so I won't be around for a while in the event anyone has insight into that sizable number there.. :) Happy Sunday!
