I go to compile my own zlib, so I am trying to remove zlib1g, when I get: The following packages will be REMOVED: base-config console-common console-data console-tools cramfsprogs emacs21 file gnupg initrd-tools initscripts libgnutls10 libldap2 libmagic1 libneon24 libopencdk8 libpng12-0 libtiff4 libxml2 libzzip-0-10 libzzip-dev lvm-common lvm10 lvm2 lynx modutils openssh-client openssh-server python python2.3 reportbug sysvinit udev util-linux w3m zlib1g zlib1g-dev WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing! sysvinit initscripts (due to sysvinit) util-linux zlib1g (due to util-linux) Obviously I aborted. I am now wondering whether it is even advisable to make my own build of zlib. Hmm. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
