This usually works great, but for an upgrade of this magnitude (between
releases), I'd strongly recommend dselect or another tool with
interactive dependency negotiation. It's really helpful to be able to
choose between packages providing dependencies, and to see what's
Recommended and Suggested, even though dselect is a pain about
Recommends... but that's another matter. :-)
I was going to ask if one could do this using dselect rather than
apt-get dist-upgrade, but concluded that it was a dumb question and
that the answer was obviously 'no'. I guess I was wrong. Do you have
to do anything special in dselect, or it's just a straight Upgrade?
