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
another options is to compile and install into /opt/package-version,
sometime I do that when I really like package and it's not available for
debian
you'd probably get a better answer on debian-user mailing list

lose it. All the upgrades appear to be coming from.
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
I tried putting this Debian Sarge/Etch install onto the security testing repo,
but it don't want to play. I still have two basic Sarge installs, also on the
same security repo, but aptitude dist-upgrade is only doing minimal upgrades,
and certainly not wanting to remove apps. The ouput of aptitude dist-upgrade
is below, (also tried aptitude upgrade, as sometimes they differ) . Any
comments would be welcome. Nigel.
