Abort.

 I decided to wait a few days until nothing will be removed. Or is that not necessary?

I let them go, it's part of the  "nettle"  package (a low-level cryptographic library)

http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/

I believe anyone using multiarch will see this

You can wait longer, let it go,  or wait on some more knowledgeable people to chime in

I am not more knowledgeable, but everything ok after du.

@Jörg,


In general one can assume that the dependencies in sid are OK (unlike in experimental).
Thus if apt-get proposes to delete a library (*) you normally never have a problem, unless you have special feelings for that library


(*) and this will only happen if no other program needs that library, so it's basically being orphaned.

DU went through without problems! Thanks for your response @piper, @blaze & @reinob.

Greetings,
Jörg
