Maybe a little note on the end that states no comments necessary would help keep the importance where it needs to be and not drowned out by people like me ...


LOL I'm sure others, like me, are always eager to hear the experiences of @tommy2.   ;D


The qtbase transition is 97% complete as of today, so perhaps we should not lock the thread until it is truly finished. It can happen that a user report about a transition problem will help other users avoid the same problem.


But I understand your point, and these "Update Warnings" threads should be locked when the issue becomes history.

@dibl, left myself wide open on that one,  ;D as it came across different than I had planned.  What I was trying to say was "all the it works for me" comments can give some less experienced people a false sense of security when in reality as you stated the transition is still on going and what works for one may not work for another.  I believe that is what @melmarker was saying above in his comment!  I do appreciate the laugh I got from you and will now crawl back under my rock.  ;)

@tommy2, I appreciate what you are saying but no comments override the importance of carefully checking what d-u proposes to do before hitting Y to proceed. This is mentioned many times here and one must particularly take heed of impending removals.
In my case it was a new install and the install image is many months behind the current state of packages so upgrading as soon as possible is important. It went well for me so I feel sharing that experience may be valuable to someone. YMMV.

"apt-transport-https still to be removed..." & "Synaptic says It is no longer required and now incorporated into apt."

Maybe this is the reason for the problems of smxi, which does not work anymore (wget <--> https). Please do not talk about smxi, I will continue to use the script (I like it).

The problem with smxi depends on a bug in wget:
