Be careful of doing any updates now.  The perl updates are removing 70 applications and making your boot mush

Hope you have a good backup if you are going ahead

Sick and tired of this shit Debian, you are really disappointing in so many ways now

To prevent this for now run:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-mark hold perl

When it is over run this:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-mark unhold perl

I will post here when it is resolved

The libreoffice upgrades look to be complete as well - two big package upgrades coincided this time.
