For my "upgrade test system", which has the Sarge Desktop task installed (i.e. Gnome and KDM desktops), I get 197 packages to remove with that command, including most of Gnome and the 2.4 kernel (without replacement)... 43 packages upgraded, 41 newly installed, 197 to remove and 554 not upgraded. Need to get 50.9MB of archives. After unpacking 428MB will be freed. So far the only working method I've been able to find to upgrade that is to use aptitude interactively (i.e. the frontend, not from the commandline). Cheers, FJP
