Hello! Today I found that during the update process libuuid-perl wants to be removed.

This is my sources list:

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged jessie-backports main

First time I see such a thing on the stable, A few ago when actively when i used testing, I faced very often similar situations that came out as temporary bug.

Is it a bug that I just have to wait? OR let it go libuuid-perl? To me it seems not look like a simple package that i should let out. From Debian DSA there is no news for this.

Do someone know anything about this case?
Thank you!

System runs...:

Devuan GNU/Linux 1 (jessie)
Linux coeurlinux 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.51-3 (2017-12-13) i686 GNU/Linux

P.S. update/upgrade command shortened it as alias on .bashrc.

alias update="sudo apt-get update"
alias upgrade="sudo apt-get upgrade"

Edit: Found this SECURITY THREAD about this case.
I gave the update linux-base, removed libuuid-perl and installed again. Currently it seems quiet, i'll look at it later.

This thread is solved! Thank you for the attention.
