Package: upgrade-reports Version: buster My system has a bridge interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces. I upgraded from stretch to buster. After the successful upgrade in the list of packages to be auto-removed is bridge-utils. "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: bridge-utils..." After running `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` and a subsequent restart, the host was missing its bridge interfaces. Manual installation of bridge-utils fixed the network interfaces. I suppose bridge-utils did not have any dependencies which was why it was auto-removed but this is an important package since loss of connectivity can occur if upgrading remotely. Thank you, -Brenden
