<apt-get output deleted> More than likely what you were seeing is an effect of the package that you removed. If it were the reason that some packages were being held back, the act of removing the blocking package would then allow the held packages to install. Note that "held back" is NOT a synonym for "held". A "held back" package is one that is unable to be updated due to dependencies. A "held" package will never install without some action on the part of the admin. -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
