  24 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Automatic_upgrade_testing_from_Lenny_to_Squeeze.html">testing
  25 of Debian upgrades</a> from Lenny to Squeeze continues, and I've
  26 finally made the upgrade logs available from
  27 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/debian-upgrade-testing/">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/debian-upgrade-testing/</a>.
  28 I am now testing dist-upgrade of Gnome and KDE in a chroot using both
  29 apt and aptitude, and found their differences interesting.  This time
  30 I will only focus on their removal plans.</p>
  31
  32 <p>After installing a Gnome desktop and the laptop task, apt-get wants
  33 to remove 72 packages when dist-upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze.  The
  34 surprising part is that it want to remove xorg and all
  35 xserver-xorg-video* drivers.  Clearly not a good choice, but I am not
  36 sure why.  When asking aptitude to do the same, it want to remove 129
  37 packages, but most of them are library packages I suspect are no
  38 longer needed.  Both of them want to remove bluetooth packages, which
  39 I do not know.  Perhaps these bluetooth packages are obsolete?</p>
  40
  41 <p>For KDE, apt-get want to remove 82 packages, among them kdebase
  42 which seem like a bad idea and xorg the same way as with Gnome. Asking
  43 aptitude for the same, it wants to remove 192 packages, none which are
  44 too surprising.</p>
  45
  46 <p>I guess the removal of xorg during upgrades should be investigated
  47 and avoided, and perhaps others as well.  Here are the complete list
  48 of removals.  The complete logs is available from the URL above.  Note
  49 if you want to repeat these tests, that the upgrade test for
  50 kde+apt-get hung in the tasksel setup because of dpkg asking conffile
  51 questions.  No idea why.  I worked around it by using '<tt>echo >>
  52 /proc/<em>pidofdpkg</em>/fd/0</tt>' to tell dpkg to continue.</p>
