Buying HAMM and recognizing that an UPGRADE from BO is
impossible is fairly easy. Thank you for that, debian.

In both scripts some directory names are AS_DEBIAN_LIKES_IT.
In 'autoup.sh' the SEDSCRIPT is AS_DEBIAN_LIKES_IT.
- With 'cd_autoup.sh' we get '$DM/base/package_*.deb' and find
some packages in step 1.2.
Then we recognize the wrong directory names.
- With 'autoup.sh' we get 'package_*.deb' and find nothing.
If we change in 'autoup.sh' the SEDSCRIPT:

and repeat steps 2. and 2.1, we get the same result as
with 'cd_autoup.sh' in step 1.2.: some packages
are found, then we recognize the wrong directory names.
Please, tell me, do you want to reiterate these advanced errors
in SLINK?
