It worked fine for me, on a fresh install of slink (2.1r4 CDs) upgrading to
woody. Thank you very much for a solution to this problem! :)
:
feature-add upgrades to slink are kosher, but it seems to me that it would
be a good idea to make it so that one can upgrade from slink by apt-get
upgrade'ing slink to the latest version of all slink things, then apt-get
dist-upgrade after changing sources.list. The current situation is not
good, because I imagine a lot of people have a slink CD, and use it to
install systems that will be upgraded to potato or woody. hmm.
Agreed. As noted in my own (somewhat rude, sorry-I-should-have-read-before-posting) note about frozen potatoes, I had the same problem. With Nathan E Norman's fix/workaround my upgrade appears do have done Good Things(tm). Thanks, Nathan!
An alternative suggestion (doing well-timed apt-get's of specific packages) didn't work for me, perhaps because I had already trod too far the full-upgrade path.
Thanks.
