Hi all.
I just upgraded two systems from Intrepid to Jaunty. Both of them installed the package "splix" which as far as I can tell is a Samsung printer driver. I have no Samsung devices.
$ sudo aptitude purge splix
warns me:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
jfsutils{u} libevent1{u} libntfs10{u} libqt3-mt{u} ntfsprogs{u} privoxy{u} socat{u} splix{p} tsocks{u} xfsprogs{u}
Hmm, I need a lot of those packages. Better keep splix for now.
I'm confused - why do these packages suddenly depend on splix? Could my package databases (on two systems) have been corrupted by the upgrade?
TiA.
