+  The solver will no longer try to remove Essential or Protected packages,
+  any dependency problem that would need such a solution will have to be
+  resolved manually.
+
+  The "Yes, do as I say" prompt for removing essential packages has been
+  replaced by an error message. The appropriate command-line option needs
+  to be used instead.
+
+  Thank you to Linus Tech Tips and System76 for bringing this issue
+  to our attention.
