I just finished upgrading from bo to hamm. It worked almost flawlessly. Here are my notes.
After running the upgrade script, any new bashes that i start dont work with set -o vi, even if i run that command manually. The problem appears only on the linux console, if i telnet it with a VT100 terminal emulator then vi keybindings work right. X doesnt work any more... When i try to start my X server, it switches to video mode and hangs. I have to log in remotely and reboot. I had a working X installation under Debian 1.3.1. I did the upgrade to hamm, and tried to run X. It hung. I reconfigured it using XF86Setup. The VGA server ran fine, but when it tried to start the S3 serveer it freaked out as above. The partition with my /usr on it filled up while i was upgrading X. I saw no complaints from the packages being installed, fixed the problem (freed up a bunch of space by moving the kernel sources off) and continued the install. Perhaps one of the X packages does not properly deal with disk-is-full errors? I'll try uninstalling everything and installing it fresh on a roomier disk. A couple of problems with installation and configuration of specific packages: Unpacking libc6-dev (from .../devel/libc6-dev_2.0.6-2.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /usr/local/tmp/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/devel/libc6-dev_2.0.6-2.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/include/ndbm.h', which is also in package libgdbmg1-dev dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) I uninstalled libgdbmg1-dev and installed libc6-dev, then it worked.

I dont know which should change, the package name or the dependency. All in all i think that went real smooth. Thanks a lot everybody!
