Hello, I'm a debain newbie and I have a litle problem when I try to upgrade my debian potato distribution to the woody one. More precisely, it seems that there is an error with 'cp' (unrecognized/invalid -L option) on the package libc6.1 (version 2.2).
The operations that I have followed are - modifcation of /etc/apt/sources.list to integrate the testing sources; - apt-get update - apt-get -u dist-upgrade The errors I catch are: == Reading Package Lists...

Thank you, L. Jacques.
