Then apt-get upgrade will pick up the rest. If necessary, repeat a few times.

And dist-upgrade will happily uninstall half of your system to satisfy the dependencies. So make sure you read the whole output before you hit enter, and make sure none of the packages that will be removed are used by you. Personally, I always manually install if there are packages held back. cheers -- vbi -- Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 14th day of Chaos in the YOLD 3171
