What about this, safe to answer Y?

If you don’t know the answer to that question, maybe you shouldn’t be using the unstable branch. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The answer is that it’s perfectly okay, but at the same time, I have to agree with what @Yochanan says. The Unstable branch is not suitable for newbies.

In all fairness I had the same /similar warnings about Ruby dependencies on the testing branch. If its just a warning I take it as that I only really worry when it’s an error. But this is exactly why we take regular backups and keep an up to date live USB handy, that way we can easily fix almost anything that goes wrong
