j> Hi List, j> Can someone point me towards information regarding why apt-get will j> sometimes say certain packages have been kept back and how i may j> resolve the troubles: (hope this isn't too much information)
j> An example of the trouble: j> 10:35am~$ su j> Password: j> jereme:/home/jereme# apt-get upgrade j> Reading Package Lists... Done j> Building Dependency Tree... Done j> The following packages have been kept back j> gedit gnome-utils gnumeric j> 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not j> upgraded. j> jereme:/home/jereme# Read 'man apt-get'. 'apt-get upgrade' never removes or installs any new packages. It only tries to upgrade existing. If new version of upgraded package will have unsatisfied dependences as result of apt-get operation then package will be 'kept back'. You need 'apt-get dist-upgrade' -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/) | | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
