After some years I have settled on upgrading sid using aptitude safe-upgrade. It will indicate the packages with problems, if there are any, or if any have been held back, in which case a full-upgrade is required. If not, job done at maximum speed. If there is trouble, and there has been for most of the last month on my system, I switch to Synaptic, where I find it easier to select what to upgrade and what to leave. Occasionally, a logjam can be fixed by upgrading things in the right order, so sometimes a situation where aptitude full-upgrade will only offer to remove half your system can be resolved by repeatedly using Synaptic to pick sets of packages to upgrade. You can, of course, do this with aptitude but with a great deal more typing. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
