Just went through a woody->sarge update, and pretty much everything went fine, with one exception. I have a perl script that manages some data on this server via DB_File. As per perl's changelog, since the last woody release:
"NOTE: DB_File now uses libdb4.0 (previously libdb2). Any DB_File databases created with earlier perl packages will need to be upgraded before being used with the current module with the db4.0_upgrade program (in the libdb4.0-util package, with HTML docs in db4.0-doc)."
This procudure successfully recovered data I thought for some time was lost. Unfortunately this was not mentioned in the upgrade process, and appears to not be mentioned anywhere other than this 2+year old changelog comment, which I found only by googling.
I don't know if there's a "known upgrade issues" document somewhere (
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html doesn't seem to mention in), but this should probabbly be documented as a heads-up for people who will run into the same problem, if not brought up in a notification at perl upgrade time.

This bug report refers to problems upgrading from a stable woody system
to an almost complete sarge, while Sarge was still testing or in some
cases, an even earlier transition. Since sarge has been released for
several months now, I think this report no longer applies, and am
closing it. Many of these issues were fixed, the rest most likely do not
matter. If you feel this bug was closed prematurely, please reopen the bug.
Thank You,
Benjamin Seidenberg
