The simple fact you are missing is that Debian is not an industry.
Don't make the same mistakes as the industry. M
I've been using unstable (now frozen) since before potato, mostly
because there have been features I need only offered in unstable.
This started before the fantastic work began on point releases of
slink. So far I don't mind, because unstable has been stable enough
for me.
However, as a Debian us

Hi
I just updated my potato system, so except of 9 Packages who got updated in
the last 3 hours :-} I should have a system as it is represented by

I still have 4 unmet dependencies:
python-base (interpret) depends on libdb1.85
libdb1.85 does not appear to be available

Why do we have to be a part of an industry? Debian would be commercial if we

If debian puts a 2.4 in, they will have to spend time testing it.
there's enough to do without more stuff that we don't even know will be
out...
If you want 2.3 or 2.4, build it yourself. Look into kernel-package.

OK, Linus has just put out 2.3.51, the next patch will be a pre-2.4 one.
To avoid the problems we've had with slink not being 2.2, I reccomend
that, even if it's not the default, we include a 2.4 /binary/ in potato.
You could even put a note in the potato release notes saying you don't

I installed a fresh copy of potato on a box, using the
2.2.7-2000-02-13 boot-disks.
The base system install worked perfectly OK here.
The first time I tried to run apt (on a NFS archive), the package
scanning done by debconf failed because base-perl was missing getopt.
=> dpkg -i perl*.deb

The behaviour of the user space nfs server has changed in a potentially
nasty way and there's no documentation about it in the package or
better yet at installation time.
On slink, you could put the names of symlinks in /etc/exports

Hi,
Why doesn't netstd depend: on all the packages it previously included?
When upgrading to potato, tftpd functionality is lost because the new
netstd only suggests it. And the parameters to tftpd have changed
and the new package does not update the inetd entry.
