Hi there,
when binutils is updated, it is necessary to rebuild (or use a rebuilt version of) "dependencies/libr". Without doing
so, trying to update binutils will raise a conflict with tdelibs which in turns brings up a long list of packages that
needs to be "removed". After rebuilding and installing the new libr, binutils can be updated without problem.
for those using TDE on Sid/stretch you have two choices:
1) if you are building TDE yuorselves, just rebuild and install libr
2) if you are using preliminary stable builds from Slavek's repo, wait until libr is rebuilt and then update binutils at
the same time.
After doing all that, I think you will not run into the issue mentioned by McCarty. If you do so, just rebuild and
reinstall tdelibs as well from CLI.
Just for info, from time to time I run into the same issue (last time was a few weeks ago) and rebuilding as described
has always fixed the problem so far (I think libr is enough, but since I do not remember 100% I also recommended tdelibs
is the problem persists).
Cheers
Michele
