Re: upgrading just one "stable" package to "testing" version
I have done this to all except 2 of my stable servers, many of them
remotely.
The one problem is that the libc6 upgrade requires you to restart a few
programs (ie, exim, inetd, ssh). You may have other programs on the machine
that the upgrade doesn't detect, and must be restarted manually.
An easily solution is just to restart the entire machine.
