From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

But it is clearly stated in the output that it holds back packages.
Nothing of what you said is on topic. I never said linux is for everyone and so on....
First, its about server administration. Second, I am neither saying that this behavior is good or bad.
I am saying that the behavior is clearly stated in the output. Or what else does "packages were held back" mean.
Blaming ignorance in reading the output prompt on the tools is really childish.
I think you got my point. Not sure why you feel the need to try to discuss another discuasion topic with me.
No its not. And again, I never said apt is good or perfect or bad.
I am fully aware, it is not like i ever had to dig down and resolve dependency hell.
But it is something different if you say that tools could be made better, than writing a whole article with a click bait title on "How i ignored the output of my package manager".
Sure in the gigantic wall of text. Also it doesn't tell you why, or what to do about it. All they'd have to do is say "run dist-upgrade to update these packages."
It is literally in the summary that gets presented in the last few lines before you have to press Y to continue.
Since you are already overwhelmed by the wall of text, you would probably not read the suggestion antways.
