I have a machine mainly used to install Debian games. I had to stop upgrading it because when games get removed due to obsolete libraries getting removed and I keep those removed games/libraries installed, I can't upgrade the rest of the system due to conflicts between the removed packages and new packages. I've come to the conclusion that I want to move all of the removed games into flatpaks/snaps automatically generated from the snapshot.d.o archives. This is probably the right sort of solution for all sorts of other unmaintained software too, including stuff that is stuck on Qt4. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
