I finally decided to try potato because I wanted an easy way of getting the latest postgresql (6.5)...
I was running slink and used dselect to upgrade. The biggest problem it seemed to find was a change in perl (DB1.85 -> DB2). It said something about using perl-5.004 to dump the DB1.85 databases and then reload perl5.005 or use db_dump185(1) and db_load(1) in libc6... What is this talking about? I only have perl loaded on my system because some other package required it. I am not sure what databases this is talking about. Any ideas? I have seen some references to using "apt" to install programs. Which method is the best for someone who doesn't play with this stuff very often - dselect or apt? Thanks, Doug
