URGH.. urban legend almost..

I installed PR1.2 with something like 40meg free..

Nowhere near 50meg free..

My colleague couldn't install even though he had 55Meg free because he had GLtron installed..
Here's why

gltron and tuxracer (for example) require libgles1

libgles1 requires libgles1-sgx-img

and
libgles1-sgx-img requires opengles-sgx-img-common
BUT it requires EXACTLY version 0.20091104.6.1+0m5

PR1.2 wants to upgrade opengles-sgx-img-common to version 0.20091104.34+0m5 and in doing so would BREAK that dependency..

So.. its not always removing a zillion packages to free space.. its removing a package that depends on something that depends on something that doesn't work with the PR1.2 upgrade

Other packages that seemed to cause similar problems:
uninstall:

tunewiki
freoffice
openarena
countdowntimer
teeworld
brainparty

Even though they use very little root space
