Ahh finally.... someone who's seen the same thing. My post wasn't meant
as a gripe, just as an announcement that although YES the new release is
cool, NO it isn't yet complete and I'm always leary of installing any
system (especially a packagized system such as Debian) when the dist is
not fully complete (where dependencies are concerned).
I imagine I'll wait for a few weeks and see what the braver members find
as they upgrade.
