haven't seen anything about these updated packages.
Just need a sanity check before I go and do the upgrade. But, while
I'm at it, apart from security updates, is there a way to know _why_
other packages have been updated in a distributio
Nico,
Just do:
apt-get -s upgrade
will show you which packages _would_ be upgraded ("-s" means don't
actually do the upgrade, just tell me what would happen).
The only thing you're missing is any updated packages that you
haven't got installed (but then you probab
Found it!

It is just proposed-updates. Not that the files therein are sometimes
moved to stable (therefor you have Debian
