Package: xlockmore Severity: grave This morning cron-apt upgraded my Debian system and removed the xlock program, which I use, or at least I did until it vanished. The xlockmore package has disappeared, and the program isn't being supplied by any package installed in its place. In fact, I'm at a loss to find the program in any package.
I have apt configured to use the stable distribution. My /etc/apt/sources.list is deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main The cron-apt output for this morning's exceptionally lengthy upgrade begins thus: CRON-APT RUN [/etc/cron-apt/config]: Fri Aug 17 04:00:01 UTC 2007 CRON-APT SLEEP: 481, Fri Aug 17 04:08:02 UTC 2007 CRON-APT ACTION: 3-download CRON-APT LINE: dist-upgrade -y -o APT::Get::Show-Upgraded=true Reading Package Lists...
