[solved] Warnig: No dist-upgrade

[vilde]

What about xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse?

What about?
Ever read the description of that package?
You have running siduction in vmware, vbox or qemu? No? Then you won't need that package.

Sorry, I know it's not like that but for some reason I always think that all packages delivered with the iso is necessary. On the other side I always take away all virtualbox guest packages after installation.

But, my main question as this topic still say "no dist-upgrade" and not marked solved, is it ok to d-u now?

Patience is a virtue. Or is there some new package that you really need? Check transition page for xorg and decide.

I'm in no hurry. It was towos post about reinstalilng some packages and a lot o german (that I don't understand) text before that made me wondering. I wait for it to clear up. Thanks.

But, my main question as this topic still say "no dist-upgrade" and not marked solved, is it ok to d-u now?

The libc multiarch issue has been cleared and the libxtables/libtesseract issue has cleared.

DO NOT dist-upgrade if:
1) You use binary/proprietary nvidia driver (including legacy versions)
2) You use virtualbox
3) You need vmmouse package as towo discussed
4) You are using intel i945 graphics or older (i.e. you need xserver-xorg-video-intel package)

Otherwise, you are probably okay (no guarantees though).

As for intel package, please double check that You are not using something newer then the package in unstable.
I'm not sure why and how but I also had .918 package while .917 is in unstable. Reinstalling xserver-video-intel to the version from unstable by hand solved that one for me.

Hmmmmmmmm.  Thanks @Carnophage.

I don't know how this happened, either.

musca and horo elaborated on that some weeks ago: intel graphics factsheet , first there came a .918 into debian repos, then intel withdraw that and debian stepped down again to .917

[towo]

Let this package go and install the one from debian.
Your 218-package was a build of me from git, where it was mistagged as 218.

[dibl]

It was easily replaced and d-u goes through completely on that laptop.  The multi-arch desktop with Nvidia graphics is still waiting.

[Taliesin]

The last I checked, Nvidia drivers are now good to go, 12:47 UTC +11 or AEDST.

Still waiting on the following.

Code: [Select]

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  iptables xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
In the meantime the list of packages to be upgraded is growing.....

@Towo,

everytime I see your signature, I have this urge to flick the bug off of my screen.

[terroreek]

I performed a dist-upgrade, looks like following package was removed

Code: [Select]

libegl1-nvidia
trying to re-install, apt wants to remove libegl1-glvnd-nvidia

Code: [Select]

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libegl1-glvnd-nvidia
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libegl1-nvidia

Is is safe to assume the libegl1-glvnd-nvidia replaces the libegl1-nvidia package???

[pjnsmb]

from apt show libegl1-nvidia
