According to man apt.conf(5): > I therefore report this 'GRAVE BUG' :). This bug does not occur when upgrading from sarge. The version of e2fsprogs shipped with sarge is 1.37-2sarge1, not 1.35-6.

This is definitely not recommended. Regards, --=20 Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Thanks for the reply. I have been tracking Testing since several months before the Sarge freeze and have been gradually upgrading packages (slowly, since my net connection is dialup). Was there some need to do a dist-upgrade along the way, or something else I should have done that I missed? Apologies in advance if I overlooked some basic documentation.
