Hi, I'd like to upgrade from stable (sarge) to testing. Tried "aptitude upgrade" and it came back with 109 packages kept back.
# aptitude update; aptitude upgrade --show-versions --simulate --verbose ... The following packages have been kept back: adduser [3.63 -> 3.87] apache2 [2.0.54-5 -> 2.0.55-4] apache2-common [2.0.54-5 -> 2.0.55-4] apache2-mpm-prefork [2.0.54-5 -> 2.0.55-4] apache2-utils [2.0.54-5 -> 2.0.55-4] apt [0.5.28.6 -> 0.6.43.3] apt-utils [0.5.28.6 -> 0.6.43.3] aptitude [0.2.15.9-2 -> 0.4.1-1] ... 241 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 109 not upgraded. Need to get 123MB of archives. After unpacking 7145kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] n Obviously, I want kept back packages to be upgraded too (BTW, is there a way to find out why, specifically, those packages are kept back?). So, I tried "aptitude dist-upgrade" and it wants to install 695 new packages, including the ones I do not currently have or want (e.g evolution, gnome (I use KDE), exim, etc). # aptitude update; aptitude dist-upgrade --show-versions --simulate --verbose; 336 packages upgraded, 695 newly installed, 36 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 654MB of archives. After unpacking 1242MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] n Am I missing something? How do I upgrade only the packages that I currently have, without installing an obscene amount of new and unneeded/unwanted packages?
