I haven't (yet) tried an upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to
r14.0.0 myself (I will
have to test on a VM sometime next week), but when you are going for the
dummy package removal, I suggest you try this: run aptitude in
interactive mode, select the dummy packages to remove, press 'g'. You
will have a screen with a summary of what packages are going to be
removed, which most likely will include most of TDE packages (based on
your mail) as "autodependency (A)". Mark tdebase, tdelibs and all other
"general" tde packages as "keep". This should possibly keep most of
TDE
installed, while allowing you to remove those dummy packages.
Hi Michele,
I've been trying to figure out a simple way to protect
inexperienced users.
The safest approach I've found thus far is:
apt-get update
apt-get install tde-trinity
apt-get dist-upgrade
This is for Debian. Ubuntu may need a different second
step just as initial installs are different for Ubuntu.
I also tried this with aptitude but aptitude goes crazy.
