    muon echidnaman upgrade breaks install - removes kde-desktop, kernels et. al.

    Like an idiot, I launched muon the other day and clicked "Full Upgrade" and, without reviewing the results, clicked apply. This basically began to remove most of my entire install.

    I killed muon as soon as I realized what was going on. Luckily, I had just saved the output of dpkg --get-selections so I was able to re-install most if not all of what was missing.

    The "upgrade" for apt/muon was from a qapt/muon repo called echidnaman that I had added to try muon.

    Needless to say this repo has been removed from my list and I'm back to using synaptic for the foreseeable future.

    It appears I am back to normal except synaptic will no longer ask me for the sudo password to allow an install, rather it just won't install anything.

    You could have:

    a) Clicked the preview button placed conveniently right next to the apply button

    or

    b) Noticed that the statusbar gives a real-time count of the number of packages pending to be installed and removed.

      However, the update to qapt/muon is clearly not compatible with lucid.

      p.s. the other sudo issue was unrelated to this problem.
