Now, we all use `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' on a regular basis. But you're supposed to use `apt-get dist-upgrade' when moving between distributions. What happens if stable changes without your knowledge and you run `apt-get upgrade'? I suppose the answer is: "You'll see that the world has changed, and when asked to Continue, you say no and run `apt-get dist-upgrade' instead." But wouldn't it be better for `apt-get upgrade' to notice the change and switch to dist-upgrade itself (therefore deprecating the dist-upgrade command)? -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and mh-e.
