Will install 2 packages, and remove 1 packages. 16384 bytes of disk space will be used =============================================================================== [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libgc6c102 [REMOVE, DEPENDENCIES] libgc6 [HOLD] boa [HOLD] libwraster2 [HOLD] xlibmesa3 [UPGRADE] w3m 0.3.2.2-1 -> 0.3.2.2-2 =============================================================================== Log complete.
