Hello, I want to ask, if it would make sense to advice the user, to close any running X server when doing an dist-upgrade. Pro: you would reduce the risk of getting an unaccessable system, when during new startup of e.g. gdm an error occures and X is not responding/is hanging and you cannot switch back to virtual console. (I did a test dist-upgrade some time ago, and I had exactly this problem: when restarting gdm, the system hung up, keyboard was not responding, I had no chance to switch to virtual console. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604724) Contra: ? Maybe no cons. X sessions are not for use in this situation anyway, because they are likely to be terminated. And the upgrade process is to be performed from the virtual console or ssh.
