Well, you seem to be somewhat successfully running testing, but with your sources.list set as it is, you'll never actually get any updated packages. Everything will be newer in testing, and you're pointing only at squeeze (where everything will be either the same or lower version). I would suggest uncommenting the wheezy bits, commenting out the squeeze buts (perhaps adding contrib and non-free at your option) and running another apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and seeing what it wants to do. It's likely to want to install a number of packages to bring your "then current" wheezy install to the "now current" versions of packages. You don't have to apply the update, just see what it wants to do. -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
