Weird suggestions from software updater. It wants to remove almost everything

[marvo]

The software updater (Not 'Apps' but the other one) tells me that i have over 380 pending updates, and when i open it, it lists what it want to upgrade/remove/install.

What seems very odd to me, is that it wants to remove a lot of software: Wine, Network-manager, the KDE desktop itself, Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu system, plymouth, the Alsa driver, -just to mention a few- in addition to loads of other programs that i've installed.

That's why i haven't performed any updates yet, since it seems that it's going to reduce my computer to an 1980's MS-DOS system...

I'm thinking that maybe this looks more "scary" than it is, but i don't have the guts to proceed with the upgrade.
So, is this just a storm in a coffe cup, or is it a problem lurking here?

Re: Weird suggestions from software updater. It wants to remove almost everything

some times muon will act strange ...........do you have any outside repos enabled?

check on the CLI ....open a terminal and

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

and see what it wants to do ........it will list what it's going to do and if you dont like what you see then just hit "n" and then enter and it will abort

Re: Weird suggestions from software updater. It wants to remove almost everything

I do have some outside repos, yes. But not many.
When i started Muon now, it didn't want to do ANYTHING.

It's weird beahvior comes when i click that yelow shield in the tray, whitch then disappears and comes back after a week or two. Any way to manually invoke this?

Anyways, the terminal gives me this:

EDIT: apt-get upgrade says that there is 291 packages to upgrade, none to be removed and 32 to do nothing

Re: Weird suggestions from software updater. It wants to remove almost everything

Instead of sudo apt-get update, use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade instead. dist-upgrade handles changing dependencies while upgrade does not.

Re: Weird suggestions from software updater. It wants to remove almost everything

Yes of corse, i forgot about that.

Dist-upgrade tells me that theese packages will be removed:

Any reason why it wants to remove them?
