Aptitude want to remove packages
Hello all. I'm running Debian amd64 which i just recently installed (with raid0) and when i type aptitude dist-upgrade want to remove a lot of packages.
My box: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe AMD 64 4200+ 2gb OCZ 400Mhz ram 2x 80gb Sata (raid0) 80gb IDE Debian Lenny Amd64 here is my repository (same i was using with debian 32 bits) and i test it with default packages on a fresh installation and is the same Code:
##deb http://people.debian.org/~mako/outgoing/ Code:
The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED: And if i try to use gedit from console using root this appear Code:
debian:~# gedit /etc/apt/sources.list Thanks all |
Run ...
# aptitude keep-all ..Then only use aptitude from now on. You used apt-get to install gnome, so aptitude doesn't know about it. |
Gedit is a graphical editor and needs X to run. Use nano instead when you're in a shell.
Upgrading an Testing system does require some 'faith' that, in the end, your system doesn't get screwed. But once in a while a package turns up that causes a (serious) crash. Hey, that's why the Debian dev's call it Testing in the first place ;) |
Thx for the info rickh. Will do that, but i didn't install gnome with apt, i downloaded the dvd, so that was the 1st thing appear when i did aptitude dist-upgrade.
LOL dutch master, well, i've been running debian for at least 4 months, and i'm still a newbie and will be for quite time. I asked that because was weird, with debian 32 bits that didnt happened. This is where my newbieness come into play. But thanks for the info. I just bought some linux books because i really like it. And there is no other way than the debian way :D. Asking people is nice, but one have to do the homework too. The list of the books: # Linux in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly)) # Linux iptables Pocket Reference # The Debian System: Concepts and Techniques # Hardening Linux # Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Bible # Linux Network Security (Administrator's Advantage Series) # Hack Proofing Your Network (Second Edition) Well, i guess this is a case closed. Thanks for all |
One day I got the same problem with gnome packages. They all wanted to leave :) When searching on google, I found other users having this problem.
So I forced manually some of them. (a bit like "manual" keep-all) |
