Ubuntu 14.04 update and lilypond

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello,

today I installed the update to newly released Ubuntu 14.04 (from 
previous 13.04) and at the end of the process stands the removal of 
software packages not needed anymore. The packages which are removed by 
default include Guile 1.8 (which I take to be the version currently 
required by Lilypond) and at least one version of Lilypond itself (I 
have 2.18.0 and 2.19.3 installed and couldn’t discern which was to be 
removed, but as both are current versions, none should be removed, 
should it?).
So it seems to be important to skip that part of the upgrade and leave 
the "deprecated" packages where they are, at least I did. I couldn’t see 
an option for removing only part of the packages suggested for removal, 
either.
Just thought this might be helpful to others. And correct me if I’m 
mistaken ;-)

Best regards,
Simon
