I've been running woody fine on a couple of systems, and decied to upgrade my potato system. The "apt-get dist-upgrade" failed horribly, and the bug reports have been bouncing around since. Noone wants to accept responcibility for this mess. The apt maintainer closed 135180, the libstdc++2.10-dev maintainer didn't believe he was at fault and blamed libdb2, so bug 135651 is currently assigned there.
Since then I have been able to get my system partially back (X not tested yet) but most users wouldn't have the skills or patience to do an upgrade by trial and error dpkg -i installing and removal of non-vital packages till you find something that will install so you can install its dependencies, etc. scripts of the mess are available from http://www.blars.org/obfuscate/ -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html "Text is a way we cheat time." -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden
