Unfortunately not. It will block until *almost* everything is
moved out. I think what we’re seeing is that the re

Hi,
this is a bit curious problem:
I have a setup with swap devices on dmcrypt:
$ cat /etc/crypttab
#
crtpv LABEL=fooclvm nonediscard,luks,initramfs
cswp1 /dev/vg-f

You need “apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs” at the very least to keep
a stable system up-to-date. I use “apt-get --purge dist-upgrade” myself
while keeping an eye on what packages apt wants to remove with that.

Note that packages being updated is not always a good thing.
Having the stability of a tested set to rely on is also
appreciated. It’s also more important to have the security

Things like f-prot are shipped statically linked, when in their
binary form for OpenBSD. And binary compatibility only goes so
far either

Indeed.
It took me quite some effort to learn about LSB headers, exit codes,

Hi,
just got this vomited onto the console and into dmesg:
