It's the "0 to remove" that was significant, ie apt purge did nothing: no packages removed, no configuration files removed, no syntax error, no nothing. > > And I'm not brave; the system was installed last night for the > > umpteenth time, this partition having been used to test the d-i > > for bookwork-RC1 several times for different purposes. > > if you're running testing you're a step further towards > chaos than those who run stable, but it's ok if you've > been running it long enough to know what to expect. for > me that is the most important thing, i know what i can > expect and so far Debian has been consistent in meeting > those expectations. No chaos here: I've been installing bookwork-RC1 to attempt to replicate problems reported by others here, though I no longer have any MBR-partitioned disks, nor do I run exotic filesystems or VMs either. I haven't had the time to use bookworm beyond installing the basic system, and there's been no real imperative to use it as bullseye is working well on all my systems, which are from six to nineteen years old. Cheers, David.
