Description du problème

Bonjour,
J’ai voulu mettre à jour mon Yunohost à partir de l’interface d’admin, il me propose qu’une seule MAJ : qemu-utils
Je ne comprends pas l’utilité de ce paquet dans mon installation …
Est ce que c’est une dépendence connue de Yunohost? ou alors je dois cherché un probleme caché …
Merci de votre aide
Jean

If you want to figure it out, you can run :

aptitude why qemu-utils

(first you may need to install aptitude)

Hi
so after a little search with my friend Qwant instead of run aptitude
I ran:

$ apt-get remove -s qemu-utils                                                                                                                                          
NOTE: This is only a simulation!                                                                                                                                                              
      apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.                                                                                                                                       
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,                                                                                                                                          
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

This is a simulation of a remove to see dependencies
So we see them:
cloud-image-utils cloud-initramfs-growroot cloud-utils qemu-utils
I don’t know if it is necessary
For remember I host my yunohost on a OVH-VPS , may be it could be installed by default when I instantiated my Debian9 ?

what do you think?

Thank you !

Meh idk, these look like important packages to me (the initramfs stuff in particular) but I couldn’t really know what exactly for, more like an intuition … You should ask that question to the OVH staff. In any case if you just want your server to work, I wouldn’t touch that.

That’s a good idea :slight_smile:I have the same feeling now
THANKS !
