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 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. Reading task descriptions...
