"dist-upgrade" does not simply mean "upgrade from one release to another". It means to take extra things into account. Mainly, if upgrading a package requires installing or removing another package, apt-get will not upgrade it unless you specify "install" implicitly for the package, or do a dist-upgrade, which forces upgrading all packages. In a very unstable dist, it is quite common to be required to run dist-upgrade throughout the life of it, simply because it is so dynamic and changes frequently. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
