Tonight I was upgrading a buzz machine to bo. I first mounted the CD and run "dpkg -iGROBE *" which was ok except that of course it didn't install new packages like base-files/base-passwd to replace base, or the deps etc. So after that I ran dselect, went through all the steps, and when I got to remove, it started to remove almost everything! All the standard packages, all the essential packages etc. This really hosed the system. Why would it do this? It did it on another machine once too.
I just reinstalled it with bo, since it was only a test machine anyway.
