Have not done a remaster since KNX 3.7, but I am running into a problem when I remaster 4.0.2 that I don't recall having with previous version. When I go to remaster my source copy of Knoppix (using kgpg with this example), it seems as if it wants to remove, upgrade, and install dependencies for an abnormally large number of packages. And the list of dependencies is HUGE.

In my example listed below, an apt-get install kgpp says that it wants to remove k3b. Check out the list of extra packages to be installed, suggested packages, and packages to be removed and updated. I serious doubts that my remaster will run with all the recommended changes that apt-get makes.

My only guess is that there are some Knoppix specific packages that I need to use, and sources.list needs to be restricted to just that set of packages. I am using the sources.list that comes with KNX 4.0.2.

Here is the output I see after doing an "apt-get install kgpg". Any help greatly appreciated.
