Did the upgrade leave dependency problems?

  • 772

I am upgrading to Wily atm and I noticed a lot of dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:. This doesn't sound too good, but as mentioned on this comment, I would assume that if a package is removed with a dependent package, that both packages would be removed. So was this also the case with the upgrade? Or did it leave dependency problems behind I should fix? If so, how do I fix them?

    If there is no problem after starting sudo apt-get update -f all is fine. You have no dependency problems.

    During the upgrade, a dependency has been removed. This problem has been removed by the further process again. This is a completely normal process. Sometimes something needs to be removed forcefully to perform an upgrade.
