Hi everyone, I tried to move from stable to testing yesterday. I edited my sources.list and changed all occurances of 'stable' to 'testing'. I then run the following: fot2:~#apt-get update fot2:~#apt-get dist-upgrade
It upgraded only a few of the packages and 'kept' back the rest. i rerun the above commands, to see if I could get the rest to also be upgraded and I got the following output: fot2:~# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back aalib1 abbrowser adduser ae aktion alien apache apache-common apt apt-move base-config base-passwd bash bc bin86 bind binutils bison bsdmainutils bsdutils bzip2 console-data console-tools console-tools-libs cpio cpp cron dc debconf debhelper debianutils dlint dnsutils dosemu dpkg dpkg-dev dwww e2fsprogs ed eject elvis-tiny esound exim fdutils fetchmail fetchmailconf file fileutils findutils finger fingerd fortune-mod freetype2 gnupg kdebase-crypto kdelibs3-crypto libssl09 lynx-ssl openssl postgresql postgresql-client ssh 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 62 not upgraded. What is going on, and why can't apt-get upgrade the remaining 62 packages? How do I get it to upgrade them?
