Debian adjusts APT to make it safer |
|
The Debian team has made a change to the APT package manager which should make working with low-level packages safer. In the past, an attempt to remove packages essential for the operating system to function would result in a warning which the user could override. Now APT will simply refuse to take action which would break the core operating system. The change was reported on Twitter: "The solver will no longer try to remove Essential or Protected packages, any dependency problem that would need such a solution will have to be resolved manually. The "Yes, do as I say" prompt for removing essential packages has been replaced by an error message. The appropriate command-line option needs to be used instead." |
