I didn't mean "seemed" in a way that I didn't know. I actually went to the forums everyday, and there WAS at least three topics about dist-upgrades breaking going from Dapper to Edgy, or Edgy to Feisty. Dist-upgrades to break here, but we hear about them maybe once a week. I am 100% SURE that Ubuntu's dist-upgrade breaks more often than Debian's, and I am certain that the number is 75% or so (Give or take a bit, 75% is an estimation, not a number written into stone). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
