Yes, I had noticed that the report seems to indicate that the packaging tools were not upgraded beforehand, but people often leave out certain strange things, so I thought it best to ask, and it led to my other point anyway. Your response only begs the question of whether or not upgrading the packaging tools before attempting the full woody to sarge update improves the situation. I'm not in a position to test matters myself at this exact moment in time. Cheers, Christopher Martin
