Hello all,
I have a list of packages kept back (every time I issue an apt-get update this
is recalled by apt-get).
I have used aptitude to try to understand why these are kept back. They're all
related to
xfree 4.2.1.pre0 while I'm currently having a 4.1.0-17 runinng X environment.
How could I upgrade the conflicting/missing packages to have these 18 packages
been upgraded ?
Thanks in advance
Here are some output :
