I've done it again - twice.  I clearly need some dark black coffee to wake me 
up. :-(

So sorry, Mark.

 I have no idea how to update from 6.0.1a!  I thought that you said that you
 had done it, so I thought it must be a gap in my knowledge that you had
 read about!!

 Have you tried apt-get dist-upgrade?  (If you have already answered this
 and I have forgotten your answer, I aplologise.)  If not, try it.  It could
 solve your problem.

 If that doesn't work, try installing again from 6.0.1a. rather than 6.0.0.
  I think that we may have found the root of your problem.  There were
 problems with 6.0.0, which is why 6.0.1 was released so soon after the
 release of 6 itself.  There may be no upgrades for it.  I would, however,
 have expected 6.0.0 to upgrade to 6.0.1a. :-/

 If installing from 6.0.1a doesn't solve the problem, try 6.0.1 itself.  And
 if that doesn't work, feel free to howl with frustration. :-(

You obviously have successfully upgraded at some point!  That leaves rather 
few potential explanations other than that you are now fully upgraded.

Could you run apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade and post what 
you get?  Also it is worth posting the present state of 
your /etc/network/interfaces file.  That just _might_ give us some clues!

On the face of it, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.  You started with 
6.0.0 and now have 6.0.1, so you have clearly done some upgrading.  update 
and dist-upgrade both agree that there are no updates available.  Since the

many updates.

 On the face of it, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.  You started with
 6.0.0 and now have 6.0.1, so you have clearly done some upgrading.  update
 and dist-upgrade both agree that there are no updates available.  Since the
 system upgraded to 6.0.1 without your realising it, perhaps it has kept up
 with any updates that there are.  A slimmed down Squeeze is not going to have
 many updates.

 But I meant to ask you for your sources.list and mistakenly asked you
 for /etc/apt/interfaces, which you had told me was now working.  Sorry. :-(

Hi,

You might want to try the following:
- Disabling the CD-ROM as an apt source by commenting them out (add a # sign
before deb cdrom...)
- Changing your mirror to the Debian CDN -
http://cdn.debian.net/debian(that is, replace
http://mirror.kernel.org/debian with http://cdn.debian.net/debian)

After doing that, try updating manually again.

  apt-get update works fine with no errors, but apt-get upgrade shows no

 Hi,

 You might want to try the following:
 - Disabling the CD-ROM as an apt source by commenting them out (add a # sign
 before deb cdrom...)
 - Changing your mirror to the Debian CDN - http://cdn.debian.net/debian
 (that is, replace http://mirror.kernel.org/debian with
 http://cdn.debian.net/debian)

 After doing that, try updating manually again.

 I still have the correct mirrors in sources list but cannot update.

 Perhaps the problem is 6.0.0 -- are you sure you don't really want 6.0.1a
 ???

I downloaded all 8 dvd's of 6.0.0 amd64 and the 6.0.1a update a while
back and don't real have the bandwidth to download again, i have
installed 6.0.0 KDE twice in the last 24 hrs using different mirrors.
When i used Lenny a while back it was smooth sailing.

Putting back on list, having erroneously taken it off.  Sorry Mark. :-(

  I think that you may be confusing new packages with available updates.
   New packages are available and you can install them, but they are not
  yet installed.
 
  I have just run aptitude update with the following result:
 
  quote
  Current status: 4 updates (+3), 854 new (+4)
  /quote
 
  In this situation I have only 4 new updates that would be (and were)
  installed by aptitude full-upgrade.  The 854 are as it says new - i.e.
  new packages. They will be installed only if I do aptitude install
  package.
 
  You can update, and indeed are updating.  You can, as you say, install
  packages.  You can't upgrade because you have no pending updates with
  which to upgrade, you are already fully upgraded.
 
  You are getting into that confusion that comes from switching from yum to
  apt!

 Can't be, there must be tons of updates since 6.0.0 has been released.

I understood you to say that you had installed the updates from 6.0.1a??  
Sorry if I misunderstood.

It is possible that the software you have installed (which I understood you to 
say was minimal) has not been updated since 6.0.1a.

I got confused because you referred to new updates.  Either they were new 
packages, or they were updates - they cannot have been both.  It really does 
seem possible that they were new packages and the packages you had chosen, 
which I understood you to say were minimal, had not been updated.  It is 
indeed quite a long time since 6.0.1a, but the hypothesis at least fits the 
known facts.  This is Squeeze, which is stable.  I.e. it won't have many 
updates.

Any messages? What happens when you run apt-get update? Isn't there an
option to use other servers? Here Synaptic has got such an option.

apt-get update works fine with no errors, but apt-get upgrade shows no
packages to install, i can choose between different mirrors no
problem, it's just the first tab in synaptic that are unable to tick.
