[Trisquel-users] Strange Flidas upgrades?

[leestrobel]

My Synaptic is telling me that there are a load of packages that can be  
upgraded for Trisquel 8. However, when I 'mark all upgrades' and then  
'apply', it tells me that it's going to have to install 154 new packages,  
including some that seem a bit strange (e.g. upstart, which is listed as a  
dependency of systemd-sysv).

Does this seem a bit suspicious? It seems like a lot of new package  
dependencies all of a sudden. Could there be a bug with some of these package  
dependencies?
