Hello Robert, The Release Notes for Sarge contained the following section which was needed to ensure a smooth upgrade from Woody to Sarge. ! 4.4.3 Upgrading doc-base ! If you have doc-base installed, it must be upgraded before the rest of ! the system too. Reason is that it may fail if perl is upgraded at the ! same time. You can find out if it is installed using: ! # dpkg -l doc-base ! ! If the line of output begins with "i" then it is installed and must be ! upgraded before continuing. ! # aptitude install doc-base Can you confirm that this is no longer an issue for Sarge->Etch upgrades and that this section can be dropped from the Etch release notes? TIA, Frans Pop
