Looking also at the discussion today on d-devel, I think the general procedure advised in the release notes should be as follows: - Make sure sources.list points to woody - apt-get update - apt-get install aptitude - Change sources.list to point to sarge - apt-get update - aptitude install aptitude dpkg - aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade This means that for hppa only an extra note would have to be added near the second 'apt-get update' that using aptitude there may cause a segfault. (I've also seen 'aptitude update' fail on i386 when Woody's version is used.) Cheers, Frans Pop
