Why some package are kept back by default ?

[GloW]

Hello

In my fresh installed Xbian, when i got

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo apt-get upgrade
[sudo] password for xbian:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev xbian-package-xbmc
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

Do you know why these package are kept back?

I think newer versions of these components would break the xbian installation as the current xbian build isn't compatible with it. So that's why it's currently blocked and shouldn't be updated.

If you need more information I think Koenkk can say more about the current situation and the planned progress.

The libc packages will break your system, the xbian-package-xbmc is safe to install and can be installed by running:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc
