Thanks Robert! All help is much appreciated. I don't really know how
brave I am. Can't I run a simulation, as it were? I'm sorry for my
ignorance! I see this in the man pages for apt:
full-upgrade (apt-get(8))
full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove
currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade the
system as a whole.
I wonder what the consequences would be for this command?
