Thanks Joost for that detailed mail. I've printed it out and I'm off to
familiarise myself further with dselect. I was quite surprised though
because a debian book I looked at online e

I have slink installed and want to upgrade to potato, but I'm
relatively new to Debian (and Linux). I read two explanations on
upgrading, but still have a few newbie type questions:
Is "apt-get upgrade" sufficient, and what does "apt-get dist-upgrade"
do?
I read that I should make sure all packag

It's generally a much better idea to install the debian package if it is
available. Is this it?

Hmm this raises another similar issue. Xemacs has its own packaging
system that lets you download the latest elisp packages does anyone
know the implications of this with apt ?

This all started so simply - I just wanted the mysql DBI module. So I
fired up CPAN for the first time (perl -MCPAN -e shell), went through
the configuration, and then watched as it downloaded and installed
Perl 5.6.1. Oops. Debian.org doesn't even list a Perl 5.6.1; the most
recent they have is 5.
I have perl 5.005.02-2 on my potato system, but the latest is shown as
5.004 something. Perl-suid is not on my system and dselect will not
let me select it. Should I take the perl 005 off and install .004 or
try to find the perl-suid 5.005.whatever to match it? Thanks!
