The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
openssh-blacklist openssh-blacklist-extra
98 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 157 MB of archives. After unpacking 922 kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] Y
Would download/install/remove packages.
But upgrade manager still has the same problem.
Anyhow, I've now done an apt-get --dist-upgrade for real, so we shall see
what happens
Neil.
