Hello,
I waited till most of the packages I want to have transitioned. Then I
started "apt-get dist-upgrade", copied and pasted the list of still non
transitioned packages packages that were to be removed into a text file
and went on.
Now I can refer to that text file and install what is in there when
transitioned packages become available. KOffice is still on that list ;),
but since I mostly use OpenOffice.org its not urgent for me.
I am quite happy with that. There are some rough ends here and there, but
in general I can work productively with my system.
Still I do not beg the GCC developers to do another of those ABI
transitions anytime soon. ;) Anyway I believe they had their reasons to
cause all that trouble ;).
Regards,
