was heard to say:
Hi,
Since weeks I can't update debian sid as apt-get always wants to remove
gnome:
apt-get dist-upgrade
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
epiphany-extensions fast-user-switch-applet gnome
gnome-desktop-environment gnome-system-tools k3b libavcodeccvs51
libavdevicecvs52 libavformatcvs52 libavutilcvs49 liboobs-1-3
libpostproccvs51 libswscalecvs0 libuim5 scim-uim
[...]
As I couldn't find any mails from other users about this problem, I
finally wonder if there is something wrong with my system.
Should I continue to wait for some more weeks until finally gnome can be
updated again or is there some better way to proceed?
What do you get if you run "aptitude -s full-upgrade"? (this won't
modify your system at all) If it suggests removing packages to solve
dependencies, enter "o" at the prompt to find out why.
A strangely different result:
- it complains about gnome being broken
- it doesn't want to remove gnome this time - but kde.
(... apt-get didn't complain about kde at all...)
How can it be possible that two tools trying to do the same thing
propose so much differing solutions?
I am not using kde for the moment - and wouldn't mind to deinstall it
if only I could be sure that the system still continues to work after
the update...
What do you think should I do?
Thanks, Dietrich
PS: I appended the output of 'aptitude -s full-upgrade' :

Here the output of: aptitude -s full-upgrade
[snip]
Remove the following packages:
kde
kdenetwork
scim-uim
[snip]
kde depends upon kdenetwork (>= 4:3.5.5)
-> Removing kde
I believe "kde" is a meta package (as is "gnome") dragging all the usual
kde stuff on your system , removing it shouldn't hurt too much as it
won't remove anything except the meta package itself..
For the other two I don't know but I would try removing it manually and
then re-installing it cleanly after the upgrade.
