Is it safe?

[krisbee]

After what seems a long wait for a safe DU, my system tells me this:

Code: [Select]

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  kactivities libkf5screen6 libqt5xcbqpa5



and I have to do:

Code: [Select]

697 upgraded, 30 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 914 MB of archives.
After this operation, 490 MB of additional disk space will be used




So am I finally safe to proceed with a DU?

Look for the other ones, there are replacements, for sure.

greetings and good luck

One last word, do not wait to long with a dist-upgrade, because it can cause trouble!

[krisbee]

OK, here goes ...  and normally I wouldn't wait so long,  but I needed a few bits and pieces ...

Thanks.
