"apt-get dist-upgrade" is only required in complex situations, e.g. where other packages must be added or removed to accommodate package upgrades. This normally only happens when upgrading to a new release. Whenever "apt-get dist-upgrade" is needed it is important to carefully check what apt-get proposes to do and determine to your own satisfaction that the proposed actions are sensible, safe, and appropriate. The information from "apt-get rdepends ..." and/or "aptitude why ..." is the first step on the road to determining whether this is a Devuan or Debian or PEBCAK problem. --Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
