Subject: Danger in using autoup.sh
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello,
From my own experience: when upgrading to hamm using autoupsh with the
package in a local directory : the local directory should ONLY contain
packages from hamm.
e.g : if there's the package libreadline from bo-unstable, autoup.sh
gets confused and try a downgrade to this package.
It happened to me last night. I worked it out by manualy restoring the
initial state of my libreadline packages.
Proposed fix:
1: print a warning before checking for hamm packages in the local
directory. (e.g: CAUTION: there should NOT be ANY package from other
distribution of debian (bo, bo-unstable) in the local directory (where
you store hamm packages for the update).
2: optional : check for bo packages in the local directory and
refuse to update while they are there.
I hope this is the right place for this message.
I hope it may help.

Evrything in the subject. Those bugs are no more of actuality.
