Hi,
today i upgraded a Debian 11 system to 12 and am now scratching my head
over the final steps as described in
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#purge-removed-packages
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#obsolete
The command
apt list '~c'
shows 9 "removed packages":
fuse/stable 2.9.9-6+b1 amd64 [residual-config]
libreoffice-avmedia-backend-gstreamer/now 1:7.0.4-4+deb11u9 amd64 [residual-config]
linux-image-4.19.0-17-amd64/now 4.19.194-3 amd64 [residual-config]
linux-image-4.19.0-20-amd64/now 4.19.235-1 amd64 [residual-config]
linux-image-4.19.0-9-amd64/now 4.19.118-2+deb10u1 amd64 [residual-config]
python-twisted-core/now 18.9.0-3 all [residual-config]
python/now 2.7.16-1 amd64 [residual-config]
wicd-daemon/now 1.7.4+tb2-6 all [residual-config]
wicd-gtk/now 1.7.4+tb2-6 all [residual-config]
What does "[residual-config]" mean ?
The man page of apt is quite sparse. Is there something more detailed
available online ?
apt list '~o'
shows 220 "obsolete packages", of which at least one is a commercial
non-Debian package which is on the machine for commercial reasons.
Others are gcc-{8,9,10}, hfsprogs, linux-image-* from Debian 10 and from
my own kernel experiments, and lots of stuff of which i have no clue.
I wonder how others sift through such a list and decide what to do.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
