Those who run woody should probably subscribe to the debian-devel list. There was a warning about the db2 problem (not that it stopped me from upgrading). 8^( Today there have been messages on debian-devel about several programs that have exhibited problems are in the process of being recompiled

Hi, I'm in a somewhat similar situation to Bryan (below), except I didn't upgrade. My last woody upgrade was about a week and a half ago. Luckily, I posted the 'Paranoid's Question' to this list yesterday (9/26 at 18:54 MDT) just before attempting another upgrade. The cautionary replies I receive

Hi Andrew, Rather mysterious. Nothing has broken. Restarted exim (in a deliberate attempt to break it - if the problem was really there), and is continued to work. Even rebooted (I would much rather have it break when I am expecting it). Everything still works. And /sbin/ldconfig is

I won't stay away from Woody, because I almost never upgrade anything that might break the system, only packages that won't do any damage if they don't work. I would submit a bug report, but the developers probably already know what is going on. The one time I depart from my practice of not upgra
