Trixie is undergoing major transitions. You must be careful and check what each upgrade will want to uninstall, but it is normal for a "testing" distribution. In those cases I use the curses interface of aptitude to check which upgrade will remove another package that I want, and limit my upgrades to the one that do not break my system. Usually some days later it is Ok (sometimes week for major transitions) -- Erwan
