Hi, I'm using debian wheezy (amd64) up-to-date till December 24. I have installed some packages from wheezy-backports, essentially libreoffice.
I made an upgrade this morning and I got these messages (that I didn't look into at the time...): > sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: libreoffice libreoffice-avmedia-backend-gstreamer libreoffice-base libreoffice-base-core libreoffice-base-drivers libreoffice-calc libreoffice-core libreoffice-draw libreoffice-evolution libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-gtk libreoffice-impress libreoffice-l10n-ca libreoffice-math libreoffice-sdbc-firebird libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb libreoffice-writer python-uno uno-libs3 ure The following packages will be upgraded: libreoffice-common libreoffice-java-common libreoffice-style-galaxy libreoffice-style-tango 4 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 20 not upgraded. Need to get 26.5 MB of archives. After this operation, 4096 B disk space will be freed. Now, when I asked for a dist-upgrade I got: > sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: gnome jabref-plugin-oo libreoffice libreoffice-avmedia-backend-gstreamer libreoffice-base libreoffice-base-core libreoffice-base-drivers libreoffice-calc libreoffice-core libreoffice-draw libreoffice-evolution libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-gtk libreoffice-help-ca libreoffice-help-en-us libreoffice-impress libreoffice-math libreoffice-report-builder-bin libreoffice-sdbc-firebird libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb libreoffice-writer mythes-en-us python-uno unoconv The following NEW packages will be installed: abiword abiword-common abiword-plugin-grammar abiword-plugin-mathview libabiword-2.9 libgdome2-0 libgdome2-cpp-smart0c2a libgtkmathview0c2a liblink-grammar4 libloudmouth1-0 libots0 libwps-0.2-2 libwv-1.2-4 link-grammar-dictionaries-en The following packages have been kept back: uno-libs3 ure The following packages will be upgraded: libreoffice-common libreoffice-java-common libreoffice-l10n-ca libreoffice-style-galaxy libreoffice-style-tango 5 upgraded, 14 newly installed, 24 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 37.7 MB of archives. After this operation, 334 MB disk space will be freed. In the end, libreoffice was removed and somehow replaced with abiword, but more dangerously, gnome was removed and all its associated packages with it... Fortunately enough I had a recent backup so nothing got lost. I don't know how to track where the problem comes from (gnome? backport libreoffice?) so I can report it to the adequate developers. I would appreciate any clue on this. I would also appreciate your advice on how to resolve this issue: should I go back to libreoffice from the wheezy repositories or rather upgrade gnome to that from wheezy-backports ? The second options seems to me a more risky one. In the meantime, those in a similar configuration should avoid upgrading...
