Is this because I downloaded 9.04 or is everyone else on 8.04 getting similar messages? I looked into it a bit, and update manager wants to remove quite a few packages (120 IIRC) so I really don't want to mess things up with my current setup, but worry that any security updates might force me to. I have only used Ubuntu Studio since 8.04 but used Debian for years and haven't run into anything like this since running Debian unstable 5 years or so ago....
