It's also showing packages that were no longer required before the operation. Splitting that up into two lists or extending the sentence to convey more details is not feasible, so I'm closing this bug. Please be aware that bug reports and comments from yahoo.com are not delivered to a lot of people, as Yahoo has a draconic p=reject DMARC policy that causes them to be rejected once they've been through a forwarder like the BTS or mailing lists. I only happened to find this bug because I saw a message from the IRC bot. I suggest you use an email provider that is not hellbent on destroying email. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
