| golinux | apt wants to hold back these packages: The following packages have been kept back: | 01:45 |
|---|---|---|
| golinux | gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-4.0 gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 | 01:45 |
| golinux | libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64 | 01:45 |
| golinux | Should I go ahead and upgrade the rest or do I need to sort this first. | 01:46 |
| golinux | I don't do this often and rare have anything held back | 01:46 |
| golinux | rare > rarely | 01:47 |
| golinux | brb | 01:47 |
| Xenguy | golinux, I usually upgrade what I can, and then circle back for any packages that are held back... | 02:25 |
| Xenguy | Usually any held back packages can simply be explicitly installed with: apt-get install <copy/paste the list of packages> | 02:26 |
| golinux | Thanks! I'm thinking that if I run it again after upgrading without those packages, they will install | 02:27 |
| Xenguy | So upgrade what you can first, then circle back for the held back packages and install those explicitly | 02:27 |
| golinux | Kind of what I thought would happen. | 02:27 |
| Xenguy | I don't have any knowledge of why packages get held back in the first place, but I assume it has something to do with the nuances of various dependencies... | 02:28 |
| * golinux really dislikes having to deal with the machine | 02:28 | |
| golinux | Yeah . . . much appreciated. | 02:28 |
| Xenguy | But I do know that when I circle back I usually have to explicitly request the install of the held back packages | 02:28 |
| Xenguy | And then they are installed and everything is again up-to-date | 02:29 |
| golinux | OK | 02:29 |
