Hi Lee. I think I'll go for your option. It's not like I don't have
Cheesetracker on another distro, and if it all goes pearshaped, well so be
it.
It does seem like the 3 audio apps it wants to remove are all tied in with
libsigc++-1.2-5c102, which is being upgraded to libsigc++-5c2. Presumably
it's only these 3 audio apps that are being affected by this change. Amsynth
also requires libsigc++ according to my notes on FC2 deps, but looking at
synaptic options/deps for amsynth on my Debian Sarge/Etch install, this says
it's for a different version of libsigc++ (libsigc++0c102).
I'll go for it. It will pass the time. Thanks for the advice. Nigel.
ps: I hope Linux distro's arn't going the way of MS Windows XP & the notorious
app trashing service pack 2. But saying that, at least Debian have the
decency to tell you before you upgrade, which app's they're going to trash.

Another option is to let it remove the packages then force install them

Lee Hi. The latest updates on my Debian Sarge/Etch
(on the testing repo)
are wanting to remove. Cheesetracker (libsigc++ deps) , Wavemixer, and
Seq24. Now I use, or more precisely, am trying to use Cheesetracker, so
don't want to
try aptitude, it explains why it wants to remove packages,
I follow unstable and if it wants to remove something I like I just
don't upgrade for some time (like now they are upgrading c++ and kde so
it's pretty messy), the turmoils are fairly infrequent
