If sarge's libc6 were > *not* backwards compatible, it would have been called libc7. I upgraded a Woody box last week to Sarge's glibc/apt/dpkg/ openoffice.org/perl last week. The result was that Woody's mysql does not work with Sarge's glibc. It complains about missing GLIBC_2.2 symbols. I've then also upgraded mysql and things were fine again. The other thing that is likely to break for partial upgrades is stuff using DB, see for example #196917 on spamassassin breakage when perl is upgraded. Christoph -- cb@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
