After using apt-get to upgrade from hamm to slink via the cheapbytes cd's, I then ran deselect using the multi-cd access method. I inserted the #2 binary cd and used update, then repeated with the #1 binary cd, and then started dselect again with the #2 cd in place. The list of packages shows many "obsolete/local" packges with no replacements available. I am sure SOME of these were hamm packages which have no slink equivelents. I remember one being Infocom, there were also some 'libxxxxx' packages, I think slink has some equivelants with later .so numbers (but shouldn't dselect been able to upgrade these?). A few were truly local packages (.rpm's that I ran though alien, Netscape being one). What should I do about these? I most cases I guess just continue to use the older packages as long as they still work.
