My system is now uptodate with the newly released Slink, but there are
now a number of obsolete packages. In particular, there are two
_required_ packages listed as obsolete:
------- Obsolete/local Required packages in section base -------
*__ Req base base 1.1.0-14 <none>
*** Req base slang0.99.38 0.99.38-6 <none>
When dselect attempts to delete base, it complains that
This is an essential package - it should not be removed.
Now I could use dpkg to force its removal, but when I asked about this
on the list earlier, George Bonser told me:
NO!!!!!!!! DO NOT REMOVE BASE! IT WILL KILL YOUR SYSTEM!!!
Just wait, that is a known bug and is on the list of bugs that must be
fixed. Leave it until there is a solution for the
problem. Otherwise you will remove several vital packages.
But now that Slink has been officially released, has this bug been
fixed? Is there a way to safely remove base? (Not to mention
slang0.99.38)
Thanks,
Mark.
