Re: package management
Well, the problem with upgrading one or two packages is that you run into
dependencies problems: if you upgrade something simple, but it requires a new
version of a library that isn't quite compatible with an older library that
some other non-upgraded software depends on, you've got problems.
Hope this helps...
