You make me startle! I had the impression that one could slowly
upgrade, starting with your script. Because I would like to run wine
and dosemu, and I want to use my IDE CD-rewriteble, all of which are not or
not well supported in the bo version, I decided to upgrade to libc6, expecting
that I could later on, when I have time, pick up and install other
debian packages that I seem to need. I ran your script and afterwards
my computer seems to run as fine as it did before. What is the kind of
trouble that I can expect if I only run your upgrade script without
further upgrading?
