Hello, www maintainters
Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of the Woody release notes for i386[1] seem to
contradict one another, which confused my father slightly:
>3.3 Preparing Sources for APT
>
> The recommended method of upgrading is to use apt-get directly, as
> described here. APT's built-in dependency analysis enables smooth
> upgrades and easy installations.
> ...
>3.4 Upgrading using dselect
>
> The recommended method for upgrading to Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 is
> using the package management tool dselect. This tool makes safer
> decisions about packages than apt-get.
> ...
Which one is more recommended?
Also, the wording in the second paragraph of section 3.3 is slightly
ambiguous.
> You should not be doing any major package upgrades with access
> methods other than apt in dselect, because those, unlike the apt
> method, do not do any logical package ordering during the
> installation, and therefore aren't as reliable.
Perhaps this should be changed to something like
If you are using dselect to perform a major package upgrade, do not use
an access method other than apt, because the other methods do not use
any logical package ordering during the installation, and therefore
aren't reliable.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to send this... there were a couple of
other pseudo-packages (installation and press) that seemed equally
not-quite-right.
TIA,
thomas

I'm closing these bugs because install-doc was the documentation for the
boot-floppies, which have reached end of life.
Current installation documentation is in the debian-installer-manual
package. If you think that your documentation issue is still not
adequately covered in the sarge installer manual, please reopen your bug
report and reassign it to debian-installer-manual.
