They are therefore selected as candidates for install even though they represent an unmaintained branch of code. The i386 packages are listed by way of illustration, although the analysis should perhaps be done for the other archs too. They (at minimum) should probably be removed from squeeze-security (all the other packages were also older than their squeeze counterparts, so should be removed too, which would save the exhaustive analysis on per-binary-package case). This is particularly likely to cause problems for people upgrading, where the obsolete packages are more likely to be selected. gs-aladdin gs kvm-source linux-doc-2.6.30 linux-headers-2.6.30-2-486 linux-headers-2.6.30-2-686-bigmem linux-headers-2.6.30-2-686 linux-headers-2.6.30-2-all-i386 linux-headers-2.6.30-2-all linux-headers-2.6.30-2-amd64 linux-headers-2.6.30-2-common linux-image-2.6.30-2-486 linux-image-2.6.30-2-686-bigmem linux-image-2.6.30-2-686 linux-image-2.6.30-2-amd64 linux-manual-2.6.30 linux-patch-debian-2.6.30 linux-source-2.6.30 linux-support-2.6.30-2 linux-tree-2.6.30 openoffice.org-l10n-lo Cheers, Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
