Package: release-notes
Severity: important


Hello,
Working through release notes, everythign looks good until you get to 

apt-get dist-upgrade

I have found a bug for http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645726

which says it was fixed in the upstream version but this does not allow for dist-upgrade. This is a second computer that it had happend on in our company.

Then just to make sure..I did
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

At this point the 
apt-get dist-upgrade allowed me to upgrade my system. 

If you could mention that in the release notes. tdsodbc will need to be reinstalled after upgrade.

Thank you,
Lucas
