Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important

When upgrading a sarge box (relatively close to woody, as I don't
often enough dist-upgrade), I was told 100 or so critical packages
(including mutt) would be removed.

It appears to have been because of glibc dependencies.

Work-around: I first did an apt-get upgrade.  Then I did apt-get
install's of packages that would have been removed until apt-get -u
dist-upgrade stopped reporting that it would remove much stuff.  The
install that caused the change installed a new copy of glibc.

Sorry this is vague, I neglected to save the dist-upgrade output at
each step, nor the specific individual package I installed to get
glibc to update.
