Today's du on amd64 KDE system wants to remove two packages,
klogd and sysklogd.
I don't know what it implies... FOr now not proceeding.
Code:
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
klogd sysklogd
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libburn4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common libisoburn1 libisofs6 libjte1 libnl-3-200
libnl-genl-3-200 ruby-debian xorriso
(snip...)

I found this is caused by upgrading the package "initscripts"
Code:
# apt-get install initscriptsReading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
klogd sysklogd
The following packages will be upgraded:
initscripts
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 115 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/77.2 kB of archives.
After this operation, 257 kB disk space will be freed.

Definitely better wait as those 2 packages are considered essential and removing them may cause serious issues |

Here are some extracts from "apt-cache show klogd sysklogd rsyslog"
Quote:
#apt-cache show klogd sysklogd rsyslog
...
Package: klogd
Provides: linux-kernel-log-daemon
Description: Kernel Logging Daemon
...
...
Package: sysklogd
Provides: system-log-daemon
Description: System Logging Daemon
...
...
Package: rsyslog
Provides: linux-kernel-log-daemon, system-log-daemon
Description: reliable system and kernel logging daemon
Conflicts: linux-kernel-log-daemon, system-log-daemon
...
klogd and sysklogd are replaced by rsyslog, so let them go. |
