When I upgraded squeeze to wheezy, i did -> apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade My understanding is -> If you apt-get upgrade, you are updating your system (squeeze) When you use apt-get dist-upgrade you change your system from squeeze to wheezy If you install a package from wheezy/sid it won't be upgraded until the version number is reached in the stable (i.e. squeeze) version. -- keith <km3...@gmail.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
