I've filed this as bug #418911 available here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=418911
Any discussion should probably be here. Hopefully, my experience will be useful to others. I know I've benefitted greatly from reading and participating here. Regards, Ralph Excerpt from the bug report: Background: I'm a simple desktop user. Installed debian in late 2003 from Woody CD image, then upgraded immediately to sid. (I had help with this introduction to Linux.) As sarge was being finalized, I downgraded from sid to testing (painlessly!) and stayed with sarge all this time until April 9. Along the way, I've installed sarge on 4 other boxes without incident. I've contributed a few bug reports and posted many times to debian-user, so I think I'm about as familiar with debian as a normal user (non-developer, non-programmer, non-sys-admin) may be. Sarge to Etch upgrade: [...] Bottom Line: Having to load a knoppix live CD and chroot to rescue this upgrade was painful.
