Suppose I have my Debian package (ex. mypackage) that strongly depends on openssl >= 1.0.2 (has Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), openssl (>= 1.0.2) in its control file). When I am trying to remove openssl out of my system, I see mypackage marked to remove:



The following packages will be REMOVED:
mypackage ca-certificates openssl python3-requests ssh-import-id


Maybe, I see a bit of logic in a such behavior, but can't see any proof of exact reason why does apt choose mypackage to remove and how am I supposed to prevent it.

    How would you use mypackage without having openssl installed? What would be the point of keeping packages whose functionality depended on openssl installed?

  • @Kusalananda, as I said - I think, there is a bit of logic here. But why doesn't apt remove other packages dependent on openssl except listed ones in OP?

    What other packages do you expect apt to remove? It’s removing ca-certificates which depends on openssl, and python3-requests and ssh-import-id which depend on ca-certificates. If you expect all packages depending on OpenSSL (the project) to be removed, you probably want to remove libssl1.0.2 as well; openssl only contains the client tools, not the OpenSSL library itself.

  • Sorry, I was mislead - apt-get remove openssl DOES remove installed packages dependent on openssl.

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
