Caution -- python transition triggers removals

[dibl]

As @piper says in his totally OT post here,        a python transition is triggering removals which may or may not be damaging, depending on your configuration.  Here on a plasma/KDE destop a couple of my needed packages (gimp and wicd-gtk) would be removed, so I will wait.

Code Select Expand

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gimp ntfs-config python-glade2 python-gtk2 python-notify python-numpy wicd-gtk zim

No more removals here on Sat. morning.

94% done.

python 2.7 seems to cause problems actually today.

After @devil posted above, I let the full-upgrade go through, including the removals.  Afterward, gimp and wicd-gtk were installable again.

I just completed d-u after holding off for a few weeks until transitions settled. Went perfectly with only one package removed - libgsl2.

Seems ok here too now.
