Sounds more like you bodged it. "upgraded a number of packages" is not a good thing to do -- it's a mix between your old testing distribution and some of unstable. What you should always do is: edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and s/testing/unstable/g (as an example, change as appropriate). apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get -u dist-upgrade when going from one distribution to the other. Of course, the fact that you have to ask suggests you're unsure. Are you _really_ ready to be running unstable? Having a mixture of testing/unstable sources is NOT a good idea, and you will break your system. -- Thomas Adam -- "Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask.
