Well, I most certainly didn't have 200 i386 packages installed, I must have had maybe 10 of them, so this cannot be the complete explanation. When I do a "spot check" on a few specific packages, it seems I went from testing to unstable. For example, take cheese: [UPGRADE] cheese 2.24.3-2 -> 2.26.2-1 It went from the squeeze version to the sid version. So the behaviour is as if squeeze had been dropped from my sources.list. Ah, but I have daily backups of that machine! Let's see. Yes! That's it. The upgrade removed squeeze from my sources.list. Here is my sources.list before the upgrade: deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free deb http://security.eu.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.eu.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free ### ia32-apt-get entries ### #deb http://ftp.surfnet.nl/os/Linux/distr/debian/ lenny-i386 main #deb http://ftp.surfnet.nl/os/Linux/distr/debian/ sid-i386 main #deb http://security.eu.debian.org/ lenny/updates-i386 main After, no trace of squeeze anymore.

The example in there seems to be missing "transitional-i386" and maybe also "transitional"? -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
