Shouldn't all Debian-Packages work always as long as their dependencies are fulfilled? (At least any Debian System should be upgradeable with a simple "apt-get dist-upgrade" from the previous version. Or am I wrong in this point!?) > If things break, recognize that is because 4.0.1 was *never meant* for > potato. If it works, then it is magic. If it breaks, that is to be > expected. My opinion is: If it breaks, the dependencies where not correct. If it's really as Seth says, it would mean that it's impossible (or pure luck) to use a mixture of a stable/unstable Debian system. I used to do this for a long time with slink/potato, however. Sometimes there were problems because Debian unstable is unstable. But usually all those difficulties were fixed after a few days by doing a fresh "apt-get install". [The price to install a woody-XF4.0.1 on a potato is machine is at least a new libc6, of course. So if you don't want to upgrade libc6, you should definitely use Charl P. Botha's potato packages.] jojo P.S.: Maybe this should be discussed on debian-devel!? -- Quitting vi is the most important command of that editor, and should be bound to something easy to type and available in all modes, for example the space bar. -- Per Abrahamsen
