I know it has been way over a month... but I just got around to doing this upgrade to slink from hamm. Then I started to read this thread! hummm, this is a problem, and due to my lateness, I cannot get a netbase 3.12 from POTATO. The unstable release is 3.14-1, but that requires you to install libc6 from potato, and that requires ldso (followed by libstdc++2.9, apt, development clibs). Long story short most the libs basically need to be upgraded just to use ipmasqadm. That is not a good thing in my opinion. I should just run potato if that is the case. Now dselect reminds me of all the programs that I have broken (not really but it bitches). If slink's netbase is not going to include ipmasqadm, then there needs to be a package for ipmasqadm. To go to potato's netbase cleanly, involves many iteration. Just my $.02 --Jay Barbee
