Package: apt Version: 0.8.8 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Bug 598452 fixes a problem like mine, but with that present, apt is trying to remove grub-pc and others that I'm sure I need. I've marked ones I think I still need with a '*' prefix in the apt-get autoremove output below. I don't know which others I might really need from this list. ====================== Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information...
