Hello
on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server (64 Bit) I have some updates in aptitude (GUI) which won't be installed because the packages are hold automatically (A):
ligbl1-mesa-dri
libgl1-mesa-glx
libglapi-mesa
There are dependencies which would break if I forced updates, aptitude says, e.g.:
libgl1-mesa-dri replaces libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
libgl1-mesa-glx replaces libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
libglapi-mesa replaces libglapi-mesa:i386
I have not installed these i386-packages on my 64-bit machine anyway!
And I don't have any GUI or X11 installed on the server.
Can I just force these updates or will I break important programs?
As well I have 13 packages which are hold back (manually I guess):
dkms
isc-dhcp-client
isc-dhcp-common
libdrm-intell
libdrm-nouveau1a
libdrm-radeon1
libdrm2
libplymouth2
plymouth
plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text
ubuntu-minimal
ubuntu-standard
upstart
All these are hold on their version without any comment about breaking some other package dependencies.
Can I force these updates too?
Kind thanks for an answer, frank
