Is this somehow reflected in the dependencies? And how could I deal |
| 25 |
with the multiple versions of util-linux that seem to be required? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Perhaps I should forcefully update util-linux and use tty-helpers so |
| 28 |
that apcupsd still works in case I reboot. But what other problems |
| 29 |
might that cause? |
| 30 |
|

|
| 32 |
What am I supposed to think? Should we not update unless no problems |
| 33 |
are listed and just wait in case there are some, potentially having to |
| 34 |
wait indefinitely? How about security updates then? |

Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons |
| 39 |
might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable. |
