Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important
When upgrading a sarge box (relatively close to woody, as I don't
often enough dist-upgrade), I was told 100 or so critical packages
(including mutt) would be removed.
It appears to have been because of glibc dependencies.
Work-around: I first did an apt-get upgrade. Then I did apt-get
install's of packages that would have been removed until apt-get -u
dist-upgrade stopped reporting that it would remove much stuff. The
install that caused the change installed a new copy of glibc.
Sorry this is vague, I neglected to save the dist-upgrade output at
each step, nor the specific individual package I installed to get
glibc to update.

I'm closing this bug because it appears to be too old and probably
