I usually switch to synaptic when this happens, I find it easier to select the ones which will go. I've never got along with aptitude interactive for some reason. The same happens when some parts of a large set of packages are upgradeable and some aren't, like Qt or libreoffice. I upgrade the ones which aren't affected, and decline the offer to remove 350 packages. In fact, I often accept buggy upgrades if the problems aren't likely to affect me. I rarely use apt-cache on this machine, so I accepted that one. Failed To Build From Source is another one that doesn't worry me, because I don't. -- Joe
