Hi Erik,
I found the post you were referring to here:
That's a good page. I haven't seen it before, but I follow that basic procedure regularly (I like to live dangerously).
Hi Randall. Please tell me what is dangerous, and then I maybe can get rid of this sort of problems in the future.
One thing I'd add to it is that after the "Update if newer version available" step, click on the header for the package status column (the left-most one that displays the icon showing the packages' status: padlock, blue or black check-box, white-on-green lightening bolt, trashcan, etc.). This will sort the package listing according to status and then you can see all the packages that will be updated or installed together. Locked packages will be at the top. Just scroll down until you see the first lightening bolt or blue check-box to see the packages that will be updated or installed.
I maybe have overseen some important thing here. I only clicked on the zzz All, and followed the Package Summary on the right side and down, until I have marked all the red and blue ones for updating. Is that wrong. I have done it in this way, that I have clicked on either the red or blue ones until the white-on-green lightening bolt was visible. In what you have written above, do you mean the following from top to bottom ?: Install Do Not Install Keep Delete Update if newer version available Update unconditional Taboo-Never Install Protected - Do Not Modify That means, that you have opened "All in This List" at first ?. I can see, that there is 2 white-on-green's, and that could have been my problem, if I have choosen the "Unconditional" ?
