Running update today and Synaptic wants to remove gnome-panel?[RESOLVED]
« on: July 13, 2011, 07:02:16 AM »
Just noticed today's update with synaptic wants to remove gnome-panel, gnome-power-manager and gnome-session without installing any replacements!

I can't think it will be long before someone updates without reading through the details of what getting installed and whats getting removed first!

What's going on guys!

I noticed the same but I proceeded with the update....

The result?

Cannot load Gnome anymore and it directs me to a "failsafe xterm" where I am requested to take corrective actions...

Which actions we should take in order to load GNOME (and the computer) normally again?

It's already reported and gonna be fixed.

Never apply a update when a package wants to remove important system (desktop) packages!
Updated upower package want remove some gnome packages is the issue.

I agree. Do we know what we have to do to correct it?

I would think something via command line in order to roll-back the applied changes. Can we done it?

Thanks for the info JW!
I will mark as resolved when it's gets to my heanet mirror and confirmed as working!

EDIT: The heanet mirror has the corrected updates now but use caution as your selected repo may not yet be up to date!

Heh boys!

We are at free OS.
Freedom is never dead secure. Those things are opposite I think.
Try it with Windows or MacOS and come back to report. :D :D


Otherwise... ahemm... may be we have to think from time to time? ;D :P :-*
