Re: Potato won't chroot on Etch



Hi,

On   8 Dec, this message from john fisher echoed through cyberspace:

Without thinking too much, and not sure if this is the reason, but
Debian doens't support skipping versions on upgrade.

So, potato to etch is not a supported upgrade path. You'd need to go to
woody first.

Now, whether this is relevant to your problem I don't know...

Cheers
