Add the "-D" option to get brief explanations for automatic installs and removals. These are the conflicting packages for the testing version of digikam: Conflicts: digikamimageplugins, kipi-plugins (<= 0.1.3~rc0), libkexiv2-0, libexiv2-0.12 Digikamimageplugins is now included in digikam (see below). You have to wait for a newer version of kipi-plugins to come to Lenny (or you can install the Sid version now). BTW, I just discovered that aptitude has recently learned a nifty new trick, the "why/why-not" command: $ aptitude why-not digikamimageplugins i kde-extras Recommends digikam p digikam Conflicts digikamimageplugins This is really useful to figure out what is going on with complicated dependency issues. It is currently only available to Sid users, though (aptitude version 0.4.5.3 or higher). > Now, how do I know why these removals are necessary?

For digikam you can find this: "All plugins previously provided by the digikamimageplugins package are now included in this package." Failing that, you can download and read the changelog of the package before installing or upgrading. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
