I'm a new LMDE user, I just installed it today. And the first thing I do with every live install is to remove unneeded packages and after that, update the system, as I did with LMDE today.
But I can't update my system because mintupdate gives me the following error: "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first."
Now I don't think I have any broken packages because apt-get install -f returns no error, and I could update my system with apt-get upgrade, but I don't know if it is safe or not ( as I sad, this is the first time when I use Linux Mint )
If I try to just update mintupdate, apt pulls in a lot of packages, almost all the upgradeable ones.
Here is a list of the packages I removed:
- at-spi
gnome-user-guide
libbrlapi0.5
liblouis-data
python-brlapi
python-pyatspi
aptitude-doc-en
atmel-firmware
bogofilter
bogofilter-bdb
bogofilter-common
brasero
brasero-common
eog
espeak
espeak-data
exim4-config
f-spot
firmware-atheros
firmware-bnx2
firmware-bnx2x
firmware-intelwimax
firmware-ipw2x00
firmware-ivtv
firmware-qlogic
firmware-ralink
firmware-realtek
fortunes-min
libertas-firmware
mousetweaks
procmail
rhythmbox
thunderbird
thunderbird-l10n-en-us
ttf-sazanami-gothic
ttf-sazanami-mincho
ttf-wqy-microhei
vim-common
vim-tiny
vino
zd1211-firmware
gnome-core
libbrasero-media0
libespeak1
libgnome-speech7
rhythmbox-plugins
gwibber
So I'd like some help in two questions:
1. Did I break mintupdate ? And if I did so, how can I fix it?
2. Can I update my system with apt-get or synaptic, or the safe way is with mintupdate?
