I attempted to evaluate those dependencies (but I am not an APT expert): me@it:~$ aptitude search ~Dlibblas-dev | grep -e '^i' i liblapack-dev - Library of linear algebra routines 3 - sta i r-base-dev - GNU R installation of auxiliary GNU R pack me@it:~$ aptitude search ~Dliblapack-dev | grep -e '^i' i r-base-dev - GNU R installation of auxiliary GNU R pack I use R a lot, but am not averse to trying R from testing. However, me@it:~$ aptitude search ~Dlibfontconfig1 | grep -e '^i' | wc -l > 230 seems scary, since me@it:~$ aptitude search ~Dlibfontconfig1 | grep -e '^i' | less appears to show many important dependencies (e.g., emacs, xulrunner, cinnamon, gnome-shell, MATE). Am I missing, or misinterpreting, something? If not, is there a better/safer way for me to upgrade my GDAL to version >= 1.9?
